"A clock on each of the four floors and none of them tells the same time! Or so thinks Mr. Higgins as he dashes from hall--'twenty minutes past four'--up to attic--'twenty-three minutes past four'--down two flights to kitchen--'twenty-five minutes past four'--and up one to bedroom--'twenty-six minutes past four.'"--Kirkus Reviews, pointered review. Full color.

　　When the hall clock reads twenty minutes past four, the attic clock reads twenty-three minutes past four, the kitchen clock reads twenty-five minutes past four, and the bedroom clock reads twenty-six minutes past four, what should Mr. Higgins do? He can't tell which of his clocks tells the right time. He is in for a real surprise when the Clockmaker shows him that they are all correct!
