This is a delightful book about the problems a beaver has measuring a log to repair the dam on his pond. His friend, Bubba Bullfrog, offers him many non-standard measurements that would be appropriate to use. All prove to be a pain for Milo, in more ways than one!Bubba realizes he has a yardstick at home to prove he's correct. What a great way to help children learn about equivalent measure! I recommend it highly.

A whimsical tale captures the attention of readers of all ages as we discover equivalent measurements. It is a non-threatening way to teach the use of different forms of measurement. Not only can you use twelve snails to measure, but one lizard will work as well since twelve snails is the same as one lizard...now, what about the snake?

This book is a must have in any elementary teacher's repertoire of math literature! Even better, in any parent's bookshelf to solidify math concepts. Math is not intuitive and must be taught in the home if you want your child(ren) to succeed in math at school and in life!

Very timely shipment and the book was in condition as stated. I will definitely be buying from this person again. Thank you
