From Booklist:
Amusement-park rides, buildings, skyscrapers, and sports stadiums. No big deal, right? But the So Big Compared to What? series looks at extreme versions of these commonplace structures. The structures in Freaky-Strange Buildings include the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai, which sits on a man-made island and was constructed to resemble the sail of an Arabic boat, or dhow. In addition to a paragraph of information, each of the entries (eight per book) includes date of opening, location, height, and noteworthy feature. The colorful photos are fun to examine, and cloudy-sky backgrounds on each page enhance the larger-than-life feel. There are thought bubbles, stat boxes, and size comparisons throughout, making this series particularly child-friendly. Back matter includes additional examples of adjective-worthy rides and structures, a glossary, and suggestions for further reading. Grades 1-5. --Ann Kelley
