It's Time to Sleep, It's Time Nighttime has come; it's time for bed. It's time to dream of soft spring breezes, sand castles and seagulls, pumpkins, and mittens in this book about a child's winsome dreams during the four seasons.
Time Zones What are time zones and why do they exist? When it's noon where you live, why is it midnight halfway around the world? This entertaining book explains why time zones exist and includes little-known facts and historical lore, an explanation of Daylight Savings Time, and a hands-on activity that can be performed at home or in the classroom.
The Story of Hanukkah It's also the celebration of an ancient miracle, and retelling and remembering the story of that miracle is an essential part of the holiday, for young and old. The story of the courageous Maccabees is retold in simple yet dramatic text, accompanied by vibrant paintings of the battle, the Temple of Jersualem, and the oil which miraculously burned for eight long nights.
睡前诗歌、时区概念、悠久的历史传统,让孩子了解“时间”的意义;美国原版引进,有9年数学教学经验的儿童作家创作;深入浅出,寓教于乐,让孩子轻松掌握重要但枯燥的知识点
1.《晚安,四季》孩子就是不要睡觉!在哄孩子抱着猫睡觉的过程中,歌谣中的爸爸妈妈带孩子了解了四季标志性的自然与人文事物,聆听“时间”流淌过大地的美妙音乐。充满节奏、舒缓温馨的歌谣,更是宝宝入睡的绝妙读物。
2.《时区的故事》为了配合阿德勒描述地球向东旋转造成的全球时间差异,米勒“雇佣”了一名宇航员和他的机器狗。当一个人向东旅行时,可能需要调快自己的手表。1883年采用标准时间之前,人们面临定义时间上的困难(尤其是火车旅行中)。这本书描述了如何设置24个时区以适应人口稠密地区或特定国家的需求,并阐明了本初子午线和国际日期变更线的必要性。米勒卡通风格的拼贴艺术非常大胆,邀请小读者思考时区的问题。幽默人物(一个微笑的太阳和几个火星人)让这本书更有吸引力,同时又不减损其科学性。大量的地图、图表和一些纪实照片也有助于理清复杂的想法,地球仪和台灯的演示将帮助学生通过实验了解时区。
3.《光明节的故事》光明节意味着一段充满游戏、美食,合家欢乐的美好时光。光明节是对古老奇迹的庆祝。对我们来说,重提并记住这一奇迹非常重要。这本书还附有包括传统的马铃薯食谱以及陀螺游戏指南。
