Millions to Measure

written by David Schwartz and illustrated by Steven Kellogg


Marvelosissimo the Magician teaches the history of measurement (weight, volume, metric system) via lots of whimsical examples and illustrations.

In a starred review, Booklist promises it'll "help kids absorb their centimeters and kilometers with relative ease." SLJ predicts it's "sure to join its predecessors [If You Made a Million, How Much is a Million] as a staple."
