It's fun to tell time as you dance around the clock!

Aus dem Klappentext

At 1:00 Pacific time those bats began the shrug.

At 2:00 Click Dark said, "Stop! It's time to jitterbug!"

Put on your dancing shoes and get ready to boogie! It's American Batstand -- a twelve-hour rock and roll extravaganza with Click Dark as your host. Decked in go-go boots and bobby sox, the buoyant bats bebop their way around the clock. And there's a special guest appearance at the end!

With their swinging text and groovy illustrations, the creators of Bat Jamboree and Bats on Parade don't miss a beat when it comes to the basics. Telling time has never been so much fun!
