(4) K-3 MathStart series. Illustrated by Julia Gorton. After three young beach-goers measure their sandcastles' features with different-sized shovels, spoons, and footsteps, Larry the Lifeguard demonstrates the importance of using a standard unit of measurement. Crisp, airbrushed acrylic illustrations offer clear, visual reinforcement with one crucial exception: the numbers on Larry's tape measure are too small to read. Related activities and stories are suggested.
