What time is it, Rex?
Margot Channing
Learn to tell the time with the dinosaur in this interactive early-learning book. Children can use the movable clock hands to set the time and follow the dinosaur through the day by matching the time on the clock to what he is doing. The daily routine reflects that of young children, to encourage the application of timetelling skills in real-life situations. This handson approach to learning about hours, days and minutes will help to maintain the interest of both eager and reluctant learners.

8 Key 1 Square-rigged masts allow the hoisting of numerous small sails that are more efficient than a single large sail. Fore-and-aft sails can be flown with a reduced crew and are efficient when working to windward. 2 A cannonball hole in a small sail affects only one sail. A hole in a large sail would eventually tear a larger area and reduce further the vessel’s flying power. 3 Four rotating Michaux cannon based on the Gribeauval system.
