Features: This is a series of books that help children establish concepts such as size, speed, length, height, etc., through various fun comparisons. Each book focuses on the comparison of two concepts. The author uses this unique approach to allow readers to not only understand two opposite concepts but also learn a lot of knowledge about animals, plants, nature, biology, and science and technology. The books use a large number of beautifully drawn, brightly colored illustrations to make abstract concepts concrete, allowing readers to more intuitively see the differences in various comparisons, making it easier for young readers to understand and accept. In this book, the illustrations of objects being compared in height are drawn proportionally on the two facing pages. The tallest object will appear as the shortest object in the next two pages (the name of the object is in the box next to its illustration). In these two pages, the tallest object will again appear as the shortest object in the next two pages, and this cycle continues throughout the book.
