Tell time, mark time, waste time, pass the time. There are so many ways to deal with time! It can be divided into big chunks of years or tiny slivers of seconds. Today turns into yesterday and tomorrow becomes today. Time zones, time machines, timepieces . . . the many playful possibilities of time, the ways we think and wonder about it, are explored in a cheerful collection of original verses. In the vivid illustrations, executed in Cathryn Falwell's signature cut-paper collage, a lively sprite leads the way through the funny and thought-provoking images. A perfect book for children who are just beginning to grasp the implications of time, "It's About Time!" will make reading time a pleasure.

For all parents who have made a promise — and every kid who has held them to it — comes a cautionary tale from a masterfully witty pair.
George is a very lucky boy. He has everything a boy could want, except for one thing: he doesn’t have a pet. When George’s father finally sighs, "All right, you may have a pet," George goes out to look for one — but how is he to know that it can’t be too big, or too scampery, or too toothy, or too . . . unusual? A revered author and a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist keep their tongues in their cheeks as they spin a wry tale of promises and pets, befuddled parents and a triumphant child.
