Description

A CBC Book's August Hot Off the Press title!

"Speech bubbles provide a challenging vehicle for lengthy explanations about the positioning of clock hands, but Wise otherwise keeps the countdown moving with wordplay-filled banter. Against pale-colored backdrops, Lynch's panels amplify the story's over-the-top style via the googly eyed characters' antics." - Publishers Weekly

Cluck, cluck . . . Clock, clock . . . Chicken can't tell time. That's why he was late to a meeting, and now Farmer Ed is sending some guy named Brutus to "teach him a lesson." Help! Sheep has an idea: Chicken just needs to learn how to tell time. Goat has a different idea: Chicken needs to learn karate, wear a disguise, or move to the North Pole. Hmm . . . Which plan will work? Spoiler alert! The one that involves some math!

Crafted by former math teacher and award-winning author Bill Wise, this comic offers a delightful blend of humor and practical math application. With contributions to Scholastic MATH magazine spanning from 2002 to 2012, Bill Wise brings a wealth of expertise to every panel.

This STEM book is a valuable resource for classrooms, libraries, and even cozy reading sessions at home. Plus, with endpapers featuring concise summaries of key topics like analog versus digital clocks, the learning experience extends far beyond the final page.

The Clock Problem is also available in Spanish as El problema del reloj: qu? hora es?

Introducing an uproariously entertaining and educational comic that brings the joy of mathematics to life while learning how to tell time! Perfect for children aged 7 years and up, whether they're math enthusiasts or need a little convincing.

About the Author

Bill Wise (1958) is a retired middle school teacher who has written seven children's books, including the award-winning biography Louis Sockalexis, Native American Baseball Pioneer. The Pigpen Problem is the first of a series of Clavis Publishing comic books that feature math concepts. As a former teacher, Bill likes to write books that are both entertaining and educational. When not writing, he enjoys spending time with his family. Bill lives in Gorham, Maine, with his wife Mary Ann.

Davilyn Lynch was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, where she would spend most days drawing, escaping into a world of creativity and wonder. She grew up in an inspiring household surrounded by her father's abstract canvasses on every wall. After the distractions of life, it wasn't until her first child came along that she rediscovered her love of drawing and decided to make it a major part of her life. With the help and support of her husband and close friends she was able to make her dream a reality and became a children's book illustrator. Being born biracial, (Filipino and Caucasian) Davilyn grew up in a community that was predominantly white and suffered discrimination due to others seeing her as 'different'. Davilyn wants to make sure she sends a positive message to young readers through her character illustrations that diversity among children and families is completely normal. Davilyn is self-taught, letting her passion and creativity be her guide in the picture books she works on.
