Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4?Leedy offers another winning math-concept book. Lisa has a homework assignment to measure something in as many ways as she can, using standard and nonstandard units. "Use your imagination!" is the last instruction the teacher gives the students. Lisa chooses her Boston terrier and the fun begins. She measures Penny and a variety of other dogs. In the process, readers learn that Penny's nose is one inch long. Her tail is one biscuit long. She is bigger than a pug, smaller than a cocker spaniel, and weighs about the same as a Shetland Sheepdog. Lisa measures how much her pet eats, how high she jumps, how much time it takes to care for her, how much money is invested in her, how fast Penny runs, and a variety of other doggie traits. The results are shared with readers through charts, graphs, and reports. Large, uncluttered earth-toned pastel acrylics create a pleasing look in this clever concept book. Readers have the opportunity to learn about measuring as well as glean a lot of information about keeping a canine. A great introduction to the subject, and one that tells a good story, too.?Jane Claes, T. J. Lee Elementary School, Irving, TX

From Parents' Choice®
This oddball picture book will be an inspiration to any child embarked on a special homework assignment. In this instance, Lisa, an eight or nine year old, has been given a project "to measure something" in a number of ways. She selects her Boston terrier, Penny, as a subject, and the kinds and scope of her measurements are original to say the least: Penny's tail is "one dog biscuit long"; her ears are "one cotton swab long." We learn her relative size compared to other dog breeds: she's bigger than a pug, smaller than a cocker spaniel and about the same size as a Shetland sheepdog. We learn Penny's jumping range (about waist high by child measure), the amount of food and water she consumes, and the cost of her upkeep. Lisa's determination to cover all possible measurements unique to Penny is both informative and occasionally wittily and wildly inventive. Among other things, we get the subtle message that homework doesn't have to be drudgery. Parents' Choice Gold Award. (Selma G. Lanes, Parents' Choice, 1998) --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
