How Tall?: Wacky Ways to Compare Height (Wacky Comparisons)

Upset it wasn’t new like it said it was.. Book came with bent corner and scratches on both cover and spine of book.. still a good book.

I am a pre-K teacher and I use the books in this series (How Long, How Heavy) to spark the interest of my students in measurement concepts. They are a fun way to introduce non-standard measurement and have rhyming text so I can touch on multiple curriculum standards in one lesson. These books are not too wordy and have just the right amount of text for my very young students. After reading one of these books, my students anticipated the others with great excitement.

I teach first grade and this book is the PERFECT introduction for measuring with nonstandard units. They love the silly comparisons. It also has standard units written in small print at the bottom, so it could also be good for converting units for upper grades!

Awesome for kindergarten measurement standards! These are kooky, fun, and relatable!

The book was just what my grandson wanted. It arrived on time and we will order from amazon again. Great job!

Teaching youngsters about non-standard forms of measuring takes new meaning within this book! Students are shown various symbols and how animals, foods and objects are used to measure by height! Great discussion on size and more/less comparisons. A winner! This is part of a series on measurement for children.
