Working on the principle that the best way to teach is show not tell, this cleverly designed book uses the lift-the-flap format to introduce concepts of size, weight and measuring in general to the very young. A lively spread showing jungle animals asks children to find the long snake, the slow tortoise and the tall giraffe, while a scene set in the playground lets children compare size by counting brightly coloured blocks to measure different lengths and widths. Long and short is demonstrated by trucks, trains and boats with questions challenging children to pick the shortest car, or the longest boat, answers under the flaps. A fun and effective early learning book. ~Andrea Reece
Learning about sizes and measuring is a vital pre-school skill, and this interactive book is an engaging introduction to weight, size, length, height and comparison. A fun introduction to a key early learning concept, with over 60 flaps to lift.
