Editorial Review:
Lisa has an important homework assignment--to measure something in several different ways. She has to use standard units like inches and nonstandard units like paper clips to find out height, width, length, weight, volume, temperature, and time. Lisa decides to measure her dog, Penny, and finds out ...
Penny's nose = 1 inch long
Penny's tail = 1 dog biscuit long
Penny's paw print = 3 centimeters wide
... and that's only the beginning! Lisa learns a lot about her dog and about measuring, and even has fun doing it.
This clear and engaging concept book, delivered with a sense of humor, is certain to win over the most reluctant mathematician.

It covers standard and nonstandard (dog paws) units of measurement, length, capacity, weight...it's entertaining and leads itself to creative lesson ideas. Kids love it!

This book is a keeper. One to have in your collection of childrens books. Great for teaching measurement.
Don't eat the dog biscuits. They are for measuring. 2004-11-15
Lisa has a homework assignment. She needs to measure something. Why not Penny? She uses standard units of measurement, such as inches and centimeters, along with non-standard units of measurement, such as dog biscuits and herself, to measure her dog Penny, and other dogs too. She conducts weight comparisons of dogs with the use of a teeter-totter, and then she takes Penny home to conduct volume measurements with food and water. The illustrations are done in a simple and direct way to help children understand the concept of units of measurement. This is an outstanding book.
U of A South Elem. Education Student 2004-08-30
I loved this book. The book was so fun. Kids love this book because it has to do with dogs. It was very easy to read and to understand all of the measurements. Kids get into the book and want to go measure their own dog or cat at home. I enjoyed this book a lot and would recommend it to anyone who has to teach measuring to their kids or their class.
Perfect for teaching measuring! 2004-06-30
I used this book with my kindergarteners and they adored it! They already knew Penny from the book about maps so they were excited to listen to a Penny book in math. We used it as our starting point to get an overview on measurement and then went back to specific sections of the book to learn about each type of measurement. When Lisa used herself as a measuring tool, the students used their bodies as measuring tools. When Lisa used dog biscuits to measure Penny, we measured things in the room with dog biscuits. There are so many ways to do the things that Lisa does in the classroom and bring this book, and measuring, alive!
