Words and Numbers

The energetic narrator of "Me Counting Time" and "Me on the Map" is back, this time introducing young readers to the units of measure. What's the difference between a cup and an ounce? What gets measured in bushels and when do you use a scale? Easy-to-understand text and playful corresponding illustrations teach children the differences between wet and dry measurements, weight, size, and length. And all information is conveyed in a unique kid's-eye perspective, using everyday objects and situations. "Me and the Measure of Things" makes measurement fun-and comprehensible!
