Information on the biggest animals, buildings, plants, bridges, ships, planes, land forms, and more are all here in this little informative book for kids. Solid information without too many details makes this accessible for 2nd-5th grade readers and still usable in the pre-k classroom when they learn about things that are "biggest".
