This story is about when it is 9 p.m. in New York, what time is it in other parts of the world. In other words it is about time zones. An activity could come out of the book. With each time the children should draw the analog time and write the digital time. ( )

A lullaby for children that travels over the world telling them the change in time zones and what children all over the world just like them are dong when they are going to bed or what those children are going when they are not sleeping. It is a wonderful eye-opening, educational lullaby for children to entice and excite dreams. ( )

This book was great. It starts in New York and discusses what time it is in many different places. It talkes about all these different places and what is going on at that time. ( )

This book is very neat in the way that is shows you while it is 9:00 in one place it is another time in a different place and part of the world. At the end of the book it gives the scientific answer for why it is different times in different places of Earth.

This lullaby is a good book for a mother to read a child at night. This particular book takes place in New York. It puts the child on an imaginary journey from starting at New York and then finally back to that starting point without of course physically going to any of the places mentioned. It will take children on a trip to far away lands, distinct from one another, that they have never been to or may never visit. It shows us that different things are happening in different places all over the world. When its daytime in one place, it is dark somewhere else. We are able to learn about time zones and also about what goes on in those time zones as well. The people in each place all over the world have their own culture and hobbies that they participate in. This book gives an idea of what you would do if you ever went to visit.
