Cleary, Brian P.

On the Scale, a Weighty Tale

32 pp. | Millbrook | September, 2008 | Library ISBN 978-0-8225-7851-2 $15.95
(4) K-3 Math Is Categorical series. Illustrated by Brian Gable. The book defines ounces, pounds, tons, grams, kilograms, and metric tons, providing examples of each weight and its equivalents. Though the rhymes don't always scan, their boisterousness and the wacky cartoon cats make this book accessible. Teachers may find it a useful place to start a unit on weights and measures.
