Features: This is a series of books that help children establish concepts of size, speed, length, height, etc., through various interesting comparisons. Each book focuses on the comparison of two concepts. The author uses this unique approach to allow readers to learn about two opposite concepts while also gaining knowledge in many areas such as animals, plants, nature, biology, and science and technology. The books are richly illustrated with beautifully drawn, brightly colored images that make abstract concepts concrete, helping readers more intuitively see the differences in comparisons and making them easier for young readers to understand and accept. In this book, the illustrations of the compared objects are drawn to scale on the facing pages. The largest object will appear as the smallest object in the next two pages (the object's name is in the box next to its illustration). Then, in these two pages, the largest object will again appear as the smallest object in the next two pages, and this cycle continues throughout the book.
