Clotilde Perrin takes readers eastward from the Greenwich meridian, from
day to night, with each page portraying one of (the original) 24 time
zones. Strong back matter empowers readers to learn about the history of
timekeeping and time zones, and to explore where each of the characters
lives on the world map. A distinctive educational tool, this picture
book's warm, unique illustrations also make it a joy to read aloud and
admire.
