Just a Second

di Steve Jenkins (Autore)

Clarion Books, 2018

What can happen in just a second, a minute, or an hour?How can we measure time? The flap of a vulture’s wing. A crocodile’s heartbeat. The weight of a baby blue whale. The life of a mayfly. These increments of time may sound a bit strange, but they are all fascinating ways in which we can think about time. But what exactly is time? In Just a Second, the award-winning author-illustrator Steve Jenkins brings forth unique ways to think about time beyond the hands we see every day on a ticking clock. This non-fiction picture book explores time and how we think about it in a different way—as a series of events in the natural world (some of them directly observable, others not) that take place in a given unit of time. Steve Jenkins' extraordinary illustrations will accompany this engaging look at time. What amazing science concepts will you and your child discover together? Learning About Time: See time in a whole new way, measured not by a clock, but by a vulture’s wingbeat or a crocodile’s heart. Amazing Animal Facts: Find out how many times a hummingbird beats its wings in a second and how long a mayfly’s entire life lasts. Accessible Science Concepts: Explore big ideas about measurement, the natural world, and how we make sense of our universe, all presented in a way young readers can understand. Stunning Collage Art: From Caldecott Honor-winner Steve Jenkins, discover his signature torn-paper collage style that makes every animal and concept leap off the page.
