Who doesn't love a little bit of magic? Well this story is full of it! Imagine finding a magical clock and discovering all its secrets.
When the storyteller comes across a marvellous ancient clock in Father Time's attic, little does he know that there is going to be magic involved. Each hour from the clock releases a story that corresponds to the hour of the day - breakfast, school, milking, tea, bedtime, and others. 'The Wonder Clock' becomes a timeless masterpiece for little children and their first steps in the world of literature.
