This is such a fun book, and I'd highly recommend it to any homeschooling parents. It was so loved here that my 3 year old asked to put it on his Christmas list this year. I think having a copy to physically hold will make it even more enjoyable for him, and I'd recommend a physical copy for anyone with young kids. Great illustrations, great book, informative content.

This book is built on a solid concept. Scale can be incredibly difficult to grasp, especially for any measurement larger or smaller than we can see directly in front of us. You can tell me that something is 200 miles away, for example, but that doesn't mean that I truly grasp how far that is. And that's where this book comes in. We compare the size of earth to other planetary bodies, both smaller and larger. We do the same sorts of comparison with other measurements - distance, heat volume, etc. We learn a variety of science facts and also get the reminder that comparisons are relative and that a perspective change can influence our view.

"I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own."
This book provides good information. However I feel like the graphics are a little juvenile for the audience that would hold interest and understand all the information being provided.

This is an awesome enrichment book that would be great for any elementary school or classroom library. Probably best suited to Grade 3 and up, it's full of fun, interesting facts which are accompanied by bright, engaging visuals.

Along with lots of fascinating, accessible science facts, there is a great deal of expressive language for students to absorb as well. This is a well-crafted resource that will definitely hold reader attention!

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!
