This is a wonderful vintage nonfiction children's book suitable for about 3rd grade and up to read themselves. It could even be used as a geometry unit as her diagrams include measuring the length, width, diameter and radius of different forms as well as giving children experience with the process of transferring a 2-dimensional diagram into a 3-dimensional form. This is an excellent book for families with children of all ages.
