(4) K-3 Illustrated by Salvatore Murdocca. Pete and Patti watch as a seismosaurus shrinks gradually to one-trillionth its original size. On each double-page spread, the dinosaur's new, smaller size is expressed numerically as a fraction and as a decimal or a power of ten, and visually through comparisons to objects, such as a cricket or amoeba, some of which won't be familiar to young readers. At times, the many speech bubbles and text boxes clutter the cartoon-style illustrations.
