Enjoyed by our boys and stored in the attic for the next generation, enough said. ( )

This is a great book to read for young children. It teaches them how to compare things, and how big the universe really is. I think this book can be used for both a science and math class. For a science class I would use this to talk about space and how big it is compared to objects on earth. I would use this as a math lesson to teach comparisons in numbers and sizes. This book helps children realize the many things around us, and how they all vary in size. The author starts out by comparing a big object, like a whale, to an even bigger object and so on and so forth. The author also uses colors illustrations to keep the reader entertained. Overall very enjoyable read. ( )

This book starts with a blue whale and tell about how large it is in relation to other things on earth and in our galaxy. It uses a lot of tough vocabulary that i dont think most children would be able to understand. It might also be hard for them to grasp just how small of pieces we are in our universe at such young ages. ( )

This is a fun book for kindergarteners or first graders to read to see just how small some things really are compared to others. Students may think that the dog they saw in the park was huge, but if they were to compare it to other things, then the dog really would be very small. This book is fun to help young students use ways of comparisons that can help them understand how big things in our universe really are. You can use this as a math or science lesson to talk about space and how big things in space are. It can also be used as a math lesson and you can introduce inequalities to your students and they can practice comparing different things from the book to see which is larger than the other. You can also have them see what supporting details the author uses to show what the book is about and why the author chose to use the objects that he did.
