(2) K-3 Illustrated by Steven Kellogg. Marvelosissimo the Mathematical Magician (How Much Is a Million?) returns with a look at the history of measurement. This is an excellent treatment of a common math topic, combining the unfailing logic of Schwartz's explanations with Kellogg's humorous portrayals of people, past and present. A standout feature is the inclusion of actual-size rulers in both English and metric measurements.
