~An interactive picture book based on a traditional playground game—perfect for call-and-response!~
"Mr. Wolf, What Time Is It?" is a popular traditional game played in preschools and kindergartens, where a wolf tells the children the time—until the clock strikes midnight, at which point he begins to chase them! This picture book is based on that very game.
One morning, some little lambs head out to play and run into a wolf. The story unfolds through a recurring exchange: "Mr. Wolf, what time is it?" "It’s [X] o’clock." "Oh, that’s a relief!" But what happens when the clock strikes midnight...?
This thrilling adaptation was crafted by Hirotaka Nakagawa, a legendary figure in early childhood education, with illustrations by world-renowned animator Koji Yamamura. The ground is depicted as a clock face, helping children naturally develop an awareness of time.
Reading this aloud—and inviting the children to join in with the lines, "Mr. Wolf, what time is it?" and "Oh, that’s a relief!"—is guaranteed to make for an exciting, high-energy storytime!
