Tilly and the Time Machine

Product Information

Following him through time, Tilly ends up at key moments in world history (Trafalgar, the 1966 World Cup final) and an important moment of her own personal family history... I thought that this book was amazing. My special character was Tilly. I really liked the event when Tilly had afternoon tea with Queen Victoria. In the book I felt that the history was real.

Tilly and the Time Machine Chapter Eleven Year 3 and Year 4 Whole Class Guided Reading Comprehension But Dad isn't there in the morning - or after school. Tilly knows she has to go and find him. Dad has programmed interesting times and events through history into the machine and Tilly follows him onto a ship being cannonballed, a world cup football match, up victorian chimneys and to her own 6th birthday party. Will she ever catch up to him? When Tilly enters the time machine, she meets lots of historical characters such as, Admiral Nelson, Hans (the famous football payer) in 1966 and Queen Victoria. The illustrations are also great, adding another layer of humour to the story and enhance the story telling. I think children will thoroughly enjoy this story - and so will any adults sharing it with them!Of course," said the Psychologist, and reassured us. "That's a simple point of psychology. I should have thought of it. It's plain enough, and helps the paradox delightfully. We cannot see it, nor can we appreciate this machine, any more than we can the spoke of a wheel spinning, or a bullet flying through the air. If it is travelling through time fifty times or a hundred times faster than we are, if it gets through a minute while we get through a second, the impression it creates will of course be only one-fiftieth or one-hundredth of what it would make if it were not travelling in time. That's plain enough." He passed his hand through the space in which the machine had been. "You see?" he said, laughing. This book helped me to understand more about war and I would really like to read more books by this author. The bit that I found really funny was when Tilly pretends to be the police!

Adrian Edmondson is a well-known comedian and he is very popular. That's why Tilly and the Time-Machine is so funny!' This is good, it actually feels like the viewpoint of a seven year old girl - not that I'm an expert - but she's not like baby-talking or anything and her motives are honest. It's a good book to encourage girls and show that just because you're young doesn't mean you're useless or helpless. At the same time he doesn't shy away from dealing with proper issues; unemployment, stranger danger, the death of a loved one and how to remember them. On top of that there's still whimsy and fun, it's not dark like it could be, and it's a good model of a healthy father-daughter relationship. I think the author (Adrian Edmonson) really thought about the book and it's really impressive to know so much history.

It was such a fun and adventurous book, you get to travel in time with Tilly and her dad and get to learn about different things. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did! This is a fun tale about a girl who travels through different times to save her dad. She also sees people she loves that passed away.This story will move your heart and make you laugh. Certainly," said the Time Traveller, stooping to light a spill at the fire. Then he turned, lighting his pipe, to look at the Psychologist's face. (The Psychologist, to show that he was not unhinged, helped himself to a cigar and tried to light it uncut.) "What is more, I have a big machine nearly finished in there"—he indicated the laboratory—"and when that is put together I mean to have a journey on my own account."

With relief I can say it was an enjoyable read that I'd happily recommend to any middle fiction reader and is also a great read aloud for a younger audience. I thought the activities at the end of the novel were a great addition for teachers and parents looking to extend the novel. I really loved this book, it's very sweet but also quite sad at the same time since Tilly's mum died. This is one of my most favourite books. I also liked the pictures. I liked Tilly the best and yes of course I would recommend.This could be read aloud to younger children or is a great chapter book for more independent or able readers. With my teacher’s hat on, I think it could help inspire children to think about their favourite historical characters, who they’d like to meet or what funny fact they’d like to discover about them and be a great stimulus for independent writing. Upon that machine," said the Time Traveller, holding the lamp aloft, "I intend to explore time. Is that plain? I was never more serious in my life."

It was funny when her dad told her to jump out of the window and I found Sir Digby snorting tons name funny. A children's book was the required August reading challenge I have going with my fab friend and right off the bat I knew I was going to choose Tilly and the Time Machine by Adrian Edmondson.
