I mentioned last week that we really enjoyed How Tall?, so I reserved the other books in the series. I wasn't sure whether Christopher would be that excited about reading more of these books. He was! We read How Long? first on Thursday night. He was really into again, but I did have to read the last page when he ran out of steam. It compares the lengths of things in wacky ways - a peacock tail feather is as long as 7 sticks of licorice! It was a super fun read.

We used it for our "Book with a purple cover." That's purple, right?

This series of books in great! If you're teaching comparison (or length, size, height, etc), these would be a great resource.
