The M & M candies calendar book is for 7 to 10 year-olds. The various M & M candy pieces introduce the reader to the history of our calendar. You can find out why we have these things that keep track of our days, months, and years. Learn about the different calendars in history and how each culture had its own calendar that they used mainly to track the seasons and planting times. In fact, there is so much information in here that the adults in the house will enjoy this book, too.

Bright illustrations and friendly different-colored M & M candies help us along to the future.
