I used this book for a math lesson on non-standard measurement and the kids loved it! If you are a teacher-- it's worth getting!

This story is an excellent source to use with children who are beginning to learn about measurement. It enables them to see that there is a need for a standard unit of measure in the world. It is an amusing tale that will start children thinking without them knowing it!

I recently read this book to a second grade class. The children loved the book, the only problem that I found was that the book is not that big, so reading it to 25 children was very difficult because they all wanted to see the pictures. The children thought that the book was funny, they laughed at the picture of the queen laying in the bed that was WAY too small for her. The book helped the children to understand what a foot was and after reading a book, you could see all the children measuring things with their feet as they were walking. The only negative thing that I will say about this book is that it is too small to read in front of a large group, this book would be so much better in reading groups or if they had a tape that went along with it so that the children could sit and listen to the tape and follow along with it.

Awesome
I think this a great book for little kids to learn their measurement! Because they need to learn how to do measurement for school or for when they get older.

Don't believe the hype
Book was as thrilling as watching paint dry and awkward to read aloud. My daughter's bff palmed it off on her. We threw away the book. Read more
