A Second is a Hiccup
A Second is a Hiccup, by Hazel Hutchins; ill. by Kady MacDonald Denton
Genre: Math
"A second is a hiccup--the time it takes to kiss your mom ..."
Understanding time is a difficult concept for young children--any parent who's heard Are we there yet?, or teacher who's heard When's lunch? When's recess? can attest to this. A Second is a Hiccup is a fantastically practical tool for explaining the passage of time to young children. The book describes seconds, minutes, days, weeks, and years--all in events children understand and love.
Lesson idea: This book could facilitate a great classroom discussion. Young students could engage in thoughtful idea sharing about things in their own lives that take a second, or a minute, or a week.
