- Baker & Taylor
Printed fabrics, patterned papers, and simple text combine to cleverly explain the passing of seconds, minutes, and hours through the seasons--and through the years. - Baker & Taylor
Explains the passing of seconds, minutes, and hours through the seasons and through the years, and discusses the many different things that can be done within each given period of time. - Random House, Inc.
What is time? This question, asked nearly fifty years ago by author Beth Gleickâs young son, prompted her to answer in a picture book for preschoolers, using simple language and familiar scenes: âIn one second, you can bounce a ball, or jump, or say hello, or turn a page.â
Beth Gleickâs clean turn of phrase cleverly explains the passing of seconds, minutes, hours, on up through seasons
and years. First published in 1960, this book is lovingly re-illustrated by collage-artist Marthe Jocelyn, who pays homage to the original art while simultaneously creating a world of her own, cutting patterned papers and printed fabrics with whimsy, ingenuity, and precision of, yes, time. . . .
