So Big Compared to What? series.
Straightforward texts provide very general facts about quirky, unusual, and intriguing buildings from around the world. Some of the size comparisons are useful while others seem like filler. There's just enough information to satisfy the most basic requirements of an elementary-school report. Accompanying photographs are generally large, clear, and well-produced (some are a little fuzzy). Reading list. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these So Big Compared to What? titles: Spectacular Skyscrapers and Freaky-Strange Buildings.
