How much is a cup? How heavy is a pound? How far is a mile? How tall are you? This playful introduction to units of measure helps children size things up--from a teaspoon to a cup, an ounce to a gallon, a pound to a ton, an inch to a mile, and a peck to a bushel. Bright illustrations and an easy-to-understand text teach the concepts needed to answer the familiar questions in a child's life--how much, how many, how heavy, how tall, and how far--using tools like rulers and scales, cups and baskets. With the help of Me and the Measure of Things, children can see how they use weights and measures every day and in every way!
