Description
This book explores basic concepts of measurement, including linear measurement, weight, volume, as well as the units used to express them,
Quick Summary
This book turns everyday objects into measuring adventures, showing kids how long, heavy, or full things really are using stuff they see every day. Children will enjoy seeing their toys measured, learning why a pound of feathers feels different than a pound of rocks, and discovering how many cups fill up their favorite water bottle. If your kid loves "The Grouchy Ladybug" or other Eric Carle books about science concepts, they'll devour this measurement adventure. Ideal for kindergarten through second graders, especially ages 5-8 who are starting to explore math in the real world.
