Time travel back and forth in a single big jump is more common than small-hop time travel in fantasy. The Dalemark Quartet book four by Diana Wynne Jones has time travel by means of object (as well as, I think, time travel by means of innate power). I think it's the Sage of Theare by DWJ has time travel because the person doesn't grow up the way they are supposed to and time gets all squiggly to try and put it right.
I don't remember Time Cat by Lloyd Alexander but I think that it had time travel.
Kids books often have "time travel to a special historical place" involved. Or to a mythological almost place - as Edward Eager's Half Magic, some of the E. Nesbit books, I think that Rudyard Kipling's Puck of Pook's Hill (which I haven't read) has time travel of someone somewhere?
