Measuring Me! invites readers to think about measurement in terms of comparisons. Some of the things that the Mathical Committee loves about this book include use of common objects to explore measurement, fun facts about the human body, mathematical connections to the real world, and the wonderful paper height chart. We appreciate the bright, lively pictures and notes that many readers will see themselves reflected somewhere within the story illustrations. – Carolyn Pfister, Mathical Selection Committee
