How to Measure Everything

The book itself is wonderful. I've created a cooking school at home for my going into kindergarten aged daughter this summer and she is asking to learn more about measurements and fractions. So capitalizing on that miracle I purchased this to accompany our class. She loves the interactive features of the book ie flaps and spinner and enjoys the pictures and examples.I am however very disappointed in Amazon's shipping. Our new book straight out of the envelope looks like we've had it for years with how crunched the edges are. Please do better for book lovers, Amazon.

This is a MUST have for every house. My 5,7,9&10yr all love this book and have learned so much!

My kids love books, they enjoy this one a lot. Cute and fun book about measurments

I homeschool and this is a great supplement !

Fun book for kids. I would suggest it for ages 5 and up as my 5 year old doesn’t enjoy the book but my 8 year old loves it.

Awesome book. My 6-year-old is a fan. =)

Little Guy is at the age where he questions everything - why and how and more. He loves to 'find out things.'How to Measure Everything from DK Canada is a great learning tool for measurement. Height, length, weight, volume, time, temperature and the calendar.How to Measure Everything has been published as a board book. The pages are sturdy and able to stand up to repeated (and not always gentle) use. That format also allows for some great surprises on many of the pages! There are lift the flap windows on most pages (questions/answers), a movable clock and a wonderful pop-up at the end.As with every new book, Little Guy likes to start with the cover and talk about what we might find inside. The cover is bright and colourful with pictures that illustrate what measuring is. The rulers on the cover are a clever border. Explanations of what each measurement is are part of each category's page. Once the concept has been explained, there's the fun of answering the questions on the top of the lift up flap. And the answers are underneath the flap. And the last page covers all the principles using a pop up bedroom scene. Clever!We decided to read one category - starting with weight - and then go around the house guessing what things might weigh, what might be heavier etc using everyday objects (and a lot of toys.) The kitchen and bathroom scales got a lot of use. But I loved that his curiosity was piqued. This is how we learn.As always with DK publications, the book is bright, colourful, well laid out and appealing. The information within is perfect for a 4-7 year old.How to Measure Everything fits perfectly within the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) focus of learning in school systems today

Bought the book for $11.99 but when I opened it out of the envelope, it had a sticker on it that says sales price was $9.49.

Good book,lots of information for my little one.
