About The Book

Young readers can discover just how big their favorite animals are in this full-color hardback book, bursting with life-sized, to-scale examples and eye-opening comparisons. From the tiny to the terrifically tall, this fun, educational book allows children to interact with life-sized, to-scale artworks of animals (or their paws, ears, and beaks) to get a sense of how big (or small!) they really are. They can also explore clever scale comparisons showing creatures alongside more familiar objects, to explore how they relate to familiar parts of their everyday lives. Readers can: • Measure their hand against a gorillas • See the biggest beetle on earth fill a whole page • Compare a king cobra to a stretch limousine • Come eye-to-eye with a humpback whale These to-scale artworks bring the astonishing sizes of animals into the room with you, brought to life by the bright, characterful illustrations of Patrick Corrigan. What a great, high-interest way to learn about weights and measures! Ideal for readers aged 6+.
