Review: Here we learn all about measurement. We start off with learning how to measure height and weight like when you go to the doctors. The tools of measurement are also discussed such as scales and rulers. Moving on, we learn about mass and how one can see and measure this. Some examples were the gas in a balloon and the mass of a rock. Lastly, capacity is talked about and how it relates to how much an object can hold. This is an early introduction to childhood measurement skills. Illustration: The best learning books always use realistic visual representation. We get to see many tools in real life pictures. Rating: This is a great book to use when talking about measurement and in the science class. Literature built into any subject is a great way of teaching. 5 stars.
