Centuries later, we have clocks and calendars all around us! <p>This title has been selected as a Common Core Text Exemplar (Grades 4-5, Informational Texts)<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Bruce Koscielniak</b> is the author and illustrator of several books for children; he is also a musician who has played the violin and jazz guitar for many years.
