To be honest I bought this book purely for education value (and also because my little one likes the other books in this series so much), fully expecting that I'd have to coax my little ones into reading it... while I found it stone cold boring (the author admittedly has a difficult task ahead of her - how is it humanly possible to write an interesting story about inches, pounds and ounces ?!? ) my 4 and 6 year olds ask me to read it to them again and again. It could be because they liked the other books (Me and My Place in Space and Me and My Amazing Body - both excellent, excellent books I strongly recommend then for your little ones) so much that they like this one too. I'd recommend grabbing the other two books I mentioned and reading them to your children before moving on to this one however. Also be prepared - just because my little ones liked the book doesn't mean your own will. If I was six years old I have to admit someone would have to force me to read this - then again one could view this as the least painful way of preparing your children for things they're going to end up learning in school anyways. The books are quite effective too - I was amazed at how much my 6 year old remembered from the Me and My Amazing Body book.UPDATE - My kids are now 5 and 8 years old and are still fascinated by this book... my theory is that knowing how much things weigh, how tall they are , how big they are et cetera lets them get a "handle" or "grasp" on the world around them by being able to measure it - something us older folk take for granted and find stone cold boring but something that might, in fact, be fascinating to younger folk learning about the concept for the first time. My 8 year old went over weights and measures the previous year in first grade and I'm sure this book helped her out a lot as she was familiar with the concepts before they started teaching them to her in school.
This has very brief explanations of measurements that we use in cooking, crafts, woodworking, picking fruit etc.It is a great reference booklet for kids starting to cook and do projects. It will show them how many cups in a pint or feet in a yard from the tiniest measurement to the largest like a bushel of apples as show on the front.
This is a good book for your first, second grade level students to help them focus on measurement and how it applies to their lives. Good introductory activity.
I really like this book. However, I purchased it for use with preschool aged children for a lesson and it is way over their heads. There are too many different kinds of measurements introduced. I simplified some of the description and it worked okay.
This has been a helpful teaching tool for me as a homeschool mom. I love this book and the reinforcement of how to measure.
I wish this book was written for metric measurements as well. Too bad we aren't using metric in this country.
Great book for introducing types of measurement in the classroom.
