Riassunto

A CBC Book's August Hot Off the Press title!

“Speech bubbles provide a challenging vehicle for lengthy explanations about the positioning of clock hands, but Wise otherwise keeps the countdown moving with wordplay-filled banter. Against pale-colored backdrops, Lynch’s panels amplify the story’s over-the-top style via the googly eyed characters’ antics.” —Publishers Weekly

Cluck, cluck . . . Clock, clock . . . Chicken can’t tell time. That’s why he was late to a meeting, and now Farmer Ed is sending some guy named Brutus to “teach him a lesson.” Help! Sheep has an idea: Chicken just needs to learn how to tell time. Goat has a different idea: Chicken needs to learn karate, wear a disguise, or move to the North Pole. Hmm . . . Which plan will work? Spoiler alert! The one that involves some math!

Introducing an uproariously entertaining and educational comic that brings the joy of mathematics to life while learning how to tell time! Perfect for children aged 7 years and up, whether they're math enthusiasts or need a little convincing.

Crafted by former math teacher and award-winning author Bill Wise, this comic offers a delightful blend of humor and practical math application. With contributions to Scholastic MATH magazine spanning from 2002 to 2012, Bill Wise brings a wealth of expertise. This STEM book is a valuable resource for classrooms, libraries, and even cozy reading sessions at home. Plus, with endpapers featuring concise summaries of key topics like analog versus digital clocks, the learning experience extends far beyond the final page. The Clock Problem is also available in Spanish as El problema del reloj: ¿qué hora es?.
