Library Book: Measuring Penny

Lisa's homework assignment is to measure something. The fun begins when she decides to measure her dog, Penny. "A terrific pedagogical idea from Leedy that offers instruction and no small dose of delight."--"Kirkus Reviews." Color illustrations.

Loreen Leedy is the author and illustrator of fifteen picture books, and is skilled at making concepts fun and accessible to children. She speaks at conferences and in schools throughout the United States, and is well known in the children's book field. Her studio is in Winter Park, Florida.

"Leedy offers another winning math-concept book. . . . Readers have the opportunity to learn about measuring as well as glean a lot of information about keeping a canine. A great introduction to the subject, and one that tells a good story, too."

"Perfect for classroom use, but it's also not much of a stretch to imagine children at home whipping out measuring devices and cornering their pets."
