Reviews
School Library Journal
“This clever account, told in rhyme, alludes to the basis for most of today’s standard measurement: the human body….The exaggerated, colorful cartoon illustrations are humorous and appealing. Fans of the author’s other math concept books will be delighted with this offering, too.” —School Library Journal
Kirkus Reviews
“Harris’ ABCB rhyming verses have a nice rhythm to them and some interesting pairings—sickles with pickles…. Stevanovic’s cartoonish illustrations are filled with detail, but his characters steal the show, their pointy and/or pendulous noses and appendages lending each a distinct personality.” —Kirkus Reviews
