SynopsisThis BIG title removes the confusion of the abstract by teaching size through eye-catching juxtaposition in "oh wow!" images. For instance, any idea about the size of the mysterious Giant Squid of the deep? Sure, you could read that it's 59.5 ft. long. While that sounds impressive enough, it's a little abstract. However, when you see a full-color illustration of a Giant Squid placed in front of the entire length of a farmhouse, you get a real idea of what 59.5 feet means!, What's the Big Idea? is a new series that combines high-impact visuals and (what else?) a big trim size to teach through juxtaposition. Wildly different objects are taken out of their normal context and placed next to one another to allow for new and exciting perspectives. In How Big Is It?, readers will be able to easily comprehend the idea of size by seeing an extraordinary item placed next to a more ordinary item or environment. How tall is a giraffe? 17.3 feet...or: If one was standing in your living room, you'd have to cut a hole in the ceiling and its head would reach the top of a secondfloor bedroom!, A big book all about bigness This BIG title removes the confusion of the abstract by teaching size through eye-catching juxtaposition in "oh wow " images.
