FROM AMAZON
A fun book about the measurements by which we define the world. Strauss is especially good when he tackles such issues as “What would Santa Clause have to do to deliver all his presents in one night”, and in his “Measuring Macropedia” occupying the last half of the book, in which he provides nice graphical and tabular comparisons of the most frequently encountered for units of measurement. |

The difference between small and big is one of the hardest things for kids to learn – but also one of the most fun. Teaching young kids is just as exciting when you use How Big is Big?, a fun guide to size, smell, sound and general kinds of measurement. These subjective terms are very hard to explain, so use lots of the great examples found in this book to make sure your children grasp this fun difference. |
