title: Tell the Time with Thomas Clock Book
author: Rev. W. Awdry
description: Illustrated in full color. This die-cut book features a clock with movable hands, making this introduction to the hours a tick-tock treasure. Young time-tellers can move the hands to match the time on the clocks pictured on each page as they follow Thomas the Tank Engine and his train yard pals through a busy day. Clever clock illustrations and simple text also introduce the concepts of minutes and quarter, half, and three-quarter hours in this timely tome.
zlib_text: About the Book
  In 1972, two seconds were added to time. It was in order to balance clock
  time with the movement of the earth. Byron Hemming knows this because
  James Lowe has told him and James is the cleverest boy at school. But how
  can time change? The steady movement of hands around a clock is as
  certain as their golden futures.
  Then Byron’s mother, late for the school run, makes a devastating mistake.
  Byron’s perfect world is shattered. Were those two extra seconds to blame?
  Can what follows ever be set right?
