Synopsis
How big is a "lick"? How long is a "span"? How heavy is a "talent"? These ancient measurements have disappeared now, but even today the height of a horse is still often determined in terms of "hands." Beginning with these early concepts of measurement and continuing to the present day, Miriam Schlein has created a delightful blend of fun and learning. "Metric - The Modern Way to Measure" is a pleasant way for early readers - and, indeed, anyone - to be introduced to the metric system of measurement. This book has been checked by a staff member of the National Bureau of Standards.
