While planning for my upcoming informational writing unit, I came upon this great book. It is perfect for teaching about size comparisons. In the book the author, Ben Hillman, explains the sizes of extraordinary things with ordinary animals and objects kids are familiar with. For example, did you know that there is a tarantula as big as a dinner plate, or that Giant Squids have eyes the size of a beach ball? Amazing!
These comparisons make it very easy for kids to visualize. This is a great tool and mentor text for teaching size comparisons and it is my Friday favorite for this week. See you next week!
