First, the plot of the book changes with the story, the book starts out in Dakar, Senegal and changes to different countries around the world that are in the same moment in time. Another reason why I like this book is because of the illustrations, throughout the book the pictures showed what the other countries looked liked and what some of the people in those countries could be doing. For example, in the book it says “ At the same moment , near Tokyo, Japan, it is three o’clock in the afternoon, and Keiko admires the koinobori , or carp streamers, blowing in the wind.” The illustration that goes with this sentence shows a child admiring the kinobori that is blowing in the wind. The main purpose of the book is to educate students about places around the world. In my opinion, this book is great for children to read to understand the concept about time-zones around the world. The author goes globally around the world and shares what other cultures are doing at the same exact time. I enjoy how the book teaches children about people's different cultures and traditions around the globe. For example, in the book it says, "It's 8 o' clock in Alaska, as William blows on his bedtime tea. At the same moment, it's 10 o' clock in San Francisco, when Sharon and Peter kiss goodbye." This is a great way to show readers that many different events are occurring around the world at the same time. The book is great at including multiple people around the world instead of just looking at one character. I highly recommend teachers having this book in their classrooms. no reviews | add a review
Starting from the Greenwich meridian this book takes the reader east imagining what children are doing at that moment in each of the twenty-four time zones. No library descriptions found. |
