The Magic Door
BY MARINA JONES
(AuthorHouse)
A third-grade teacher, Marina Jones found that her students struggled to grasp the concept of measuring time. Rote memorization of math vocabulary didn’t help. So she wrote this story centered around Old Man Millennium, who stumbles on a magic door to the universe. Inside, time is easily visualized with cute illustrations, and repetition and simple language help young readers discover the patterns of time.
Marina Jones (MA’98) teaches at Coburn Elementary School in West Springfield, Massachusetts. This is her first book.
