Children's tale of Mr. Stemwinder Finds the Time
Childrens' book written by Stephen Y. Bready, illustrated by Antoinette
Delaney.- around 1979
Mr Stemwinder collected clocks... loved to hear them chime on the
hour and noon and midnight
But one autumn day he got lost walking in the woods
He could not return home in time to wind all his time pieces.
So they all stopped, He could no longer set his clocks, because he
didn't know the time.
Distressed that his house was silent of tick-tocks and chimes,
He went out into his garden to be sad.
Among the piles of leaves, he sat on what he thought was a bench.
He sat on a sundial!
He brushed aside the leaves and let the sun tell him the time.
That's how Mr Stemwinder found the time.

Hello,
I am looking for titles of sundial books for children. I particularly
liked Annos sundial pop-up book by Mitsumasa Anno. Also, I would like
to know some of your experiences in working with kids. What do you
think is the best approach to teach 10 year olds about sundials?
Regards,
Dan Uza
