Set the Clock

New York, New York: Franklin Watts, Inc, 1942. Good. Light dust soiling, some nicks and short tears to dust jacket.. A very dear picture book for children from the early 1940s, featuring a cardboard clock with moveable hands for learning how to tell the time. Each leaf describes a different time of day in the life of a young girl, Joan, and has a window cut-out to reveal the moveable clock for children to practice. Pencil ownership signature in pencil to dust jacket ("G.G. Palmer"). Pen signature to upper board ("Genevieve Galati Palmer"). Palmer (1924-2016) began teaching in 1946, and most likely used this book in her classroom. Single vol. (6.75" by 9.5"), pp. [32], illus., in original illus. boards with dust jacket.
