Synopsis
In this wacky look at weight, Brian P. Cleary and Brian Gable introduce essential measurement units - from grams to pounds to tons. The comical cats of the wildly popular Words Are CATegorical® series show how to measure trucks, trains, ducks, cranes, and more. Peppy rhymes, goofy illustrations, and kid-friendly examples make light work of this heavy topic.

From School Library Journal
Grade 2–5—In bubbly verse, Cleary presents a basic introduction to weights and measures. "Weighing things is how we find/the heaviness of stuff-/a soccer ball,/great-grandma's shawl,/and bags of pillow fluff." Cheery, child-friendly examples are used for both English and metric measurements, progressing from smaller to larger weights in this approachable explanation of the topic. Some comparison between the two systems is provided. Measurement terms are highlighted in bright font as they are introduced in the text. A handy table of weight ratios is appended. Gable's watercolor cartoons depict rainbow-hued cats engaged in all manner of activities. This humorous title should prove useful in both classroom and family discussions.—Jayne Damron, Farmington Community Library, MI
