GREAT Illustrations and GREAT learning tool!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I looked at this book first because it is illustrated by one of my favorite artisits, but after reading it I realized it was also a great learning tool. We have read and referenced this book MANY times over the last 2 years, checking it out from the library so many times, I finally decided I needed to buy it! It is great for ANY age to help teach or revisit units of measurement. I have 3 children, everytime one of them begins a measurement unit at school, we send it in for the teacher to read in class and they LOVE it! But it is also just fun to read and look at! I have been asked to read it or caught the kids reading it even when we are not "studying"! My youngest is 3 and not quite old enough to grasp the concepts, but LOVES the pictures and because it is written so well and in a "fun" way, she enjoys listening to the story without even realizing she is learning! It is a wonderful book and while your at, you should search out other books by this author and illustrator! They are both equally amazing at what they do individually, but teamed up in this book (and their others) it is just wonderful!

We recently got "Millions to Measure" for our daughter and it's a wonderful introduction to measuring systems and how they've progressed over time. If you've got a small child and want to introduce them to measuring systems, I highly recommend this book.
Measuring Made Easy and Fun.....
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
"There are millions of things-and many ways-to measure. Let's fly back in time and see how people measured many years ago..." Marvelosissimo the Magician's takes the reader from prehistoric times to the present on an entertaining and informative tour of measurement. Author, David Schwartz's engaging text, written in an easy to read, conversational style, tells the story of length, weight, and volume, and is rich in history, fun facts, and trivia. Illustrator, Steven Kellogg's cartoon-like artwork is bright and playful and each busy page is filled with humor, eye-catching, expressive detail, and clever asides. Youngsters will revel in all the easy to understand, measuring fun. A terrific explanation of the metric system concludes this little gem of a picture book, and both students and teachers will find hours of fun practicing and using the concepts they learn here.
