Long, Longer, Longest

(4) K-3 Size It Up series. These volumes introduce relative-size comparisons. Accompanied by stock photos (that aren't always to scale), the formulaic texts are easy to read, but the repetitive sentence structure throughout becomes tiresome. There's occasional depth to the information: some comparisons build on previous examples, providing readers with substantive facts (there's a coast redwood in California that's "as tall as 20 giraffes"). Review covers these Size It Up titles: Big, Bigger, Biggest, Heavy, Heavier, Heaviest, Long, Longer, Longest, Short, Shorter, Shortest, Small, Smaller, Smallest, and Tall, Taller, Tallest.
