Reviews
"An excellent book to introduce the idea of timekeeping and calendars with humor and personal connections."
"[An] enjoyable math-concept picture book."
"A year's worth of days doesn't seem like quite so large a number when broken down into smaller, or at least different, units.... A bright, buoyant look at measurements, conventional and otherwise."
