The concept of time is a challenge to many pre-school and primary age children.   This book reveals how time differs in various locations upon our planet earth in a playful and interesting way.  While one child in Italy is eating a treat at 5:33pm another in China is watching fireworks but the time is 12:33 am.  Concept books are entertaining and educational; The Day Time Stopped will help explain how time differs across the world.

The illustrations are colorful but somewhat distorted and the storyline is limited.  Add this book to classroom collections when children are taught about time.
