About this title

Synopsis

Text and illustrations describe how each day comes to us as Father Time tosses down one of the 365 packets he keeps safe in his vault in the clouds.

Reviews

Kindergarten-Grade 4 It's Father Time's job to dispense days from a box in his time vault. One box holds 365 days in packets and every 24 hours he throws one down. The soft watercolor illustrations cover the entire page. The colors are both vibrant and soft; the blues and yellows, in varying shades, give a sense of depth and continuity, and white-bearded Father Time, clothed in a white suit and blue tie, adds a touch of humor. A whimsical, gentle story with asides about Father Time's relationship to Mother Nature and philosophical observations about time . Not much happens, but a wonderful opportunity to think and talk about "time" is offered. Mary Jane Kibby, Cheektowa ga Public Library, N.Y.

Store Description

I am a book lover and collector with a literary education (which means I have not read Ulysses, but I have taken classes on it). I am a packrat and aficionado of fine and serviceable used items in the belief that it is time to slow down production and slow down our lives in order to appreciate and share that which already exists.
