Description
Oakley adores everything about clocks-their faces, numbers, and steady tick-tock sounds-but he has one big problem: he can't tell time. This makes him chronically late for school, meals, and family activities, earning constant "Hurry up!" reminders from his frustrated family. When his mother threatens to leave him behind for a special fair trip, Oakley thinks creatively. With the help of his beloved clock collection and his sister, he discovers a clever way to finally be on time. A charming story with whimsical illustrations about problem-solving, perseverance, and the rewards of thinking differently.
