I had to borrow this Concept book from another library, but this is excellent book and a great primer for learning about measurement.
This board book gives a good definition of Measuring and then provides good, easy-to-understand information about length, weight, volume, time, telling time, and temperature. At the end of the book is a "practice exercise" for measuring items in the room on the pages and then challenges you to find and measure the things in a room in your house. At the end is a Quiz, a little more information, and an answer key.
Sensational!

Little Guy is at the age where he questions everything - why and how and more. He loves to 'find out things.'
How to Measure Everything from DK Canada is a great learning tool for measurement. Height, length, weight, volume, time, temperature and the calendar.
How to Measure Everything has been published as a board book. The pages are sturdy and able to stand up to repeated (and not always gentle) use. That format also allows for some great surprises on many of the pages! There are lift the flap windows on most pages (questions/answers), a movable clock and a wonderful pop-up at the end.
As with every new book, Little Guy likes to start with the cover and talk about what we might find inside. The cover is bright and colourful with pictures that illustrate what measuring is. The rulers on the cover are a clever border. Explanations of what each measurement is are part of each category's page. Once the concept has been explained, there's the fun of answering the questions on the top of the lift up flap. And the answers are underneath the flap. And the last page covers all the principles using a pop up bedroom scene. Clever!
We decided to read one category - starting with weight - and then go around the house guessing what things might weigh, what might be heavier etc using everyday objects (and a lot of toys.) The kitchen and bathroom scales got a lot of use. But I loved that his curiosity was piqued. This is how we learn.
As always with DK publications, the book is bright, colourful, well laid out and appealing. The information within is perfect for a 4-7 year old.How to Measure Everything fits perfectly within the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) focus of learning in school systems today

Weight - pages 6-7 "A bunch of grapes is lighter than one pineapple." Great point, right?
I wish DK had carried this point forward on page 7 by showing the weight of a (any) bunch of grapes with that weight of the pineapple (2lb.).
Measure this room - pages 16-17 To me, "measure" a room means to measure its dimensions: height, length, width. The measuring is of things in the room.
Nice graphics
Measuring quiz at the end with answers in a box - upside down.

DK Books should have been my math teacher because I now understand the concepts. So much fun.

This brightly colored book tells all about weighing and measuring things. Spelled out in language that children will get and understand.

Received as a gift. My son was a little too young for it at the time. But I loved the design and eye popping colors.
