Does each clock need its own battery?

Yes. The set takes two batteries total, one per clock. Neither clock is powered by a cord.

Is the display readable in the dark?

No backlight is listed, so the digits rely on room light. In a dark bedroom you may need to press snooze or use a lamp to read the time.

Each clock has its own alarm, so the pair gives you two wake times across two rooms. A single clock does not offer a second alarm.

Each is about 5.4 inches wide and 2.6 inches tall, an oval shape that fits a small nightstand or shelf.

The set includes one yellow clock and one pink clock.

It suits a child's room because it is small, battery powered and simple to use. The lack of a backlight is the main drawback for a dark room.
