Description
Written in conjunction with the Science Museum, this book is packed with the nuggets of the weird and wonderful information children love. Each section focuses on a different fascinating fact about time - from first clocks and watches to computer clocks, the Big Bang, body clocks, calendars, seasons and a little about spacetime (gravity, blackholes and time travel). The intriguing content, lively writing style, and humorous illustrations make this a hugely enjoyable read.
