Once Upon a Time

Gwenda Turner
(Penguin Books (NZ))
978-0140509496, RRP £3.50, Paperback
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
Buy "Once Upon a Time (Picture Puffin)" on Amazon

A beautifully illustrated book taking us through the day with Mum and Dad, tiny baby and big brother doing everyday things. Scenes showing meal times, shopping and nap time are punctuated by a large black-and-white clock telling the time to match the appropriate picture. Unfortunately a child of the age suggested by the illustrations is unlikely to be ready for learning time on a clock, so I'd hesitate to recommend this book for use with young children.
