![]() ![]() Hands-On Funįirst, we found a world clock that showed us what time it was in other places. This started a discussion for us about how people would have known what time it was before there were clocks like we have today. (Sad though that there’s no Canadian location – boo! □ )Īt the back of the book is a section all about the history of timekeeping and the origins of the creation of our timezones. I like how they touched different countries and continents along the way – everything from Dubai to San Francisco, Ayers Rock to Baghdad, Tokyo to Mexico City. Inside the back cover of the book is a lift out map of the world, that shows the journey from Senegal all the way east, touching in each time zone along the way. My boys liked finding where the character mentioned for that page was. The pictures were fun to look at – each page showcasing what was going on at the time for that zone. They were amazed that it was a completely different time as we moved around the world and then came all the way full circle back to where the book started. ![]() Summary: Readers head eastward from the Greenwich Meridian, from day to night, with each page portraying one of (the original) twenty-four time zones. ![]() Title: At the Same Moment, Around the World ![]()
