Hours and minutes are the same everywhere. People get up after sunrise, eat breakfast and other meals, and go to school regardless of what time it is elsewhere. And it's all because the world keeps turning. Delightful illustrations and learning opportunities! And all in words that work well for ESL. I requested and received a free ebook copy from Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books, Happy Yak via NetGalley. Thank you!
