The Clock,
written and illustrated by Esphyr Slobodkina. Published in
1956 by Abelard-Schuman.
This is an easy-to-read picture book for young children that
has a real story to tell about people, their habits, and the
town they live in.
The background is a Vermont town, but it could be any town
or village, in which the townspeople live a calm and
peaceful daily life, depending on the Old Clock in the
church tower to tell them when it is time to get up, go to
their jobs, and go to bed.
But one day the clock breaks down and everything is chaos
until a deaf old lady takes its place temporarily.
The people are all upset and some of them think the clock
should be replaced. The traditionalists prevail, however;
the clock is repaired and everything goes on calmly and
peacefully as before.
