Marvelosissimo
the Mathematical Magician
measures magnificently!
Your favorite wizard is back -- and ready to explore the invention of
length, weight, and volume measurements. How tall is Moonbeam, the
unicorn? How long are the whiskers of Jello, the cat? And just how heavy
is that darling hog? Tons and teaspoons and ounces and feet and yards
and miles ... what a headache! With millions of things to measure,
wouldn't one standard system be simpler?
With another wave of the wand, Marvelosissimo introduces you to the
world of metrics and makes it easy to understand the basic pattern of
meters, liters, and grams. And with Steven Kellogg's playful and
delightfully detailed illustrations, measuring has never been such a
blast!
