Christopher and the Clockmakers was written in the early 20th century by a Massachusetts school teacher and textile designer, who also wrote a large number of novels. It is part of a series of living books which teach young people about the history and production of such things as sugar, glass, porcelain and clocks.
Used as a part of the language arts curriculum, this book can be read as a story about the adventures of a young man who accompanies his father to work in his jeweller's shop. It can also be introduced as part of a social science or science curriculum. The vocabulary and history of clockmaking is introduced in a manner easily understood by primary students.
A charming clockmaker working for Christopher's father teaches the boy the history of timekeeping and clocks-from sundials and water clocks, to grandfather clocks and wrist watches.
Suggested Age:
This text is recommended for students in the later elementary or middle school years, though it can certainly be read aloud to younger students. It will appeal to young people who enjoy a bit of a mystery, as there is some intrigue involved when a theft takes place in the shop. Even older students and adults will find the story engaging, and the lessons about clockmaking better than anything in a textbook!
