How long is a long time? How heavy is a whale? How hot is the sun? This funny, fact-filled guide makes measuring fun for young readers. It covers length, weight, time, temperature and more. It shows how people measured things long ago and how we measure them today with metres, kilograms and seconds. The book is full of silly jokes, bright pictures and surprising facts, and it shows that measuring is all around us, in cooking, sports and everyday life. It’s a great pick for curious kids who always ask “how big?” and “how far?”
