Millions to Measure

There are millions of things to measure . . . and almost as many ways to measure them! Marvelosissimo the Mathematical Magician is back -- and ready to explore the invention of length, weight, and volume measurements. After that, with another wave of his wand, the wizard introduces the world of metrics and makes it easy to understand the basic pattern of meters, liters, and grams. With Steven Kellogg''s playful and delightfully detailed illustrations, measuring has never been such a blast!
