Summary: How Big Is a Foot
Review: I read How Big Is a Foot to children that are in the third grade and found that it is not really designed for them. I think that it would be better for second grade. The book was enjoyable and I think that if I had read it to a more age appropriate audience they would have been more interested.

Summary: Great book
Review: I read this book to first graders in math class. It helped solidify the concept of why standard measurement is necessary. Thay loved it and wanted to read it again the next day because we acted it out and actually measured and cut yarn to make the beds using my foot size and the smallest child's foot size. They want to perform it for the whole school. Of course I have only 2 kids in my class so it's easy to do things like this.

Review: I think this book is more appropriate for younger children. The three seven year olds I read this book to seemed to understand it really well, but I don't think it kept their interest. I think that it is a wonderful way to introduce children to measuring, but overall isn't the most interesting for them.

Review: I thought that this book had a different way of describing,"How big is a foot?" It was good but I didn't see as much of a response from the kids I was reading it to. It is definetely more appropriate for younger aged children. It puts into perspectve of how something was measured and the outcomes of different measurements used. I am giving this book an average rating because I don't know if a child would get a full grasp of measurements without further explanation.
