Description

How long is a minute? What is a decade? How many decades are in a century?

Now with new illustrations by Alex Willmore, Me Counting Time is a playful introduction to the concept of time. When a young boy prepares for his seventh birthday and counts how many years old he is, he begins an exploration of the many units of time that are a part of everyday life. Fun to read, easy to understand, and brimming with colorful illustrations, this title joins the other repackages in Joan Sweeney's popular Me. . . series—Me on the Map, Me and My Place in Space, Me and My Family Tree, Me and My Amazing Body, Me and the Measure of Things, and Me and My Senses.
