Cluck O'Clock

Reach for this book when your child is starting to ask 'when' things happen or feels frustrated by the abstract nature of the clock. It is perfect for preschoolers transitioning into a more structured routine who need a playful way to connect numbers to daily actions. The story follows a flock of spirited chickens through a full twenty four hour cycle, combining the rhythmic comfort of farm life with the mathematical precision of time keeping. While the book is primarily a humorous concept book about time, it also touches on themes of bravery and teamwork when a fox arrives under the cover of darkness. The vibrant, textured illustrations and silly chicken antics keep the mood light even during the 'scary' parts. It is an ideal choice for building early numeracy and vocabulary while providing a reassuring look at how a community works together from sunup to sundown.
