Fix That Clock
Author(s): Kurt Cyrus
2019 Kirkus Best Picture Book of the Year
A construction crew rebuilds a rickety old clock tower that has become home to wild animals in this picture book for fans of Sheep in a Jeep and Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site.
An underlying message of cooperation and conservation drives this rollicking introduction to counting and shapes.
The old clock tower used to stand tall and proud. Now, it’s rusty, dusty, moldy, musty. A construction team decides to turn zigzags into squares and get the clock chiming again. But wait: What will happen to all the animals who have made this dilapidated clock their home?
Nothing can’t be fixed and everyone is welcome in Fix That Clock, a celebration of hard work, compassion, and collaboration.
Review(s):
?? "With lots to look at and a pleasing rhythm, this energetic repair project ticks along very nicely indeed."—Kirkus, STARRED review "Cheerful illustrations perfectly complement the bouncy, catchy verse that just begs to be read aloud. A terrific addition to most collections and storytimes." —School Library Journal "Colorful full-page illustrations dynamically show the clock tower from all angles, and the text’s rhythm and repetition gives the story great read-aloud potential." —Booklist
