Teddy Time by Mark Burgess encourages telling time, with each spread dedicated to an hour in the life of a group of teddy bears. They wake up at eight o'clock and start getting ready for a party they are hosting. Throughout their story they ask, ""What time is it?"" so that readers can learn along with them. By seven o'clock, ""the bears are off to bed,/ Each one of them a sleepy head."" ( Apr.)
