Many objects of scientific interest are so very big (or so very small) that it's difficult to grasp just how big (or small) they are.

When children learn about large things, they have no basis for comparison to truly understand how large these things are. Hillman combines images of everyday items with these new items of interest so children can see the true size. Combined with information about each new item, this book provides great understanding.

Will use for math concepts. Love that the pictures are real.

This is a book that examines the "bigness" of things in the world. This is a perfect concept book for young children because it puts the things they know in their world into perspective. By looking at how big a skyscrapper is in comparison to a giant squid, it puts those abstract ideas of numbers into a visual experience that is easier to understand.
