What’s the difference between a cup and an ounce? What gets measured in bushels and when do you use a scale? Easy-to-understand text and playful corresponding illustrations teach children the differences between wet and dry measurements, weight, size, and length. The energetic narrator of Me Counting Time and Me on the Map is back, this time introducing young readers to the units of measure. Me and the Measure of Things makes measurement fun–and comprehensible!From the Hardcover edition.. And all information is conveyed in a unique kid’s-eye
