Actual Size by Steve Jenkins

5.0

This is an adorable book that uses an interesting art style to get its point across. The natural world is amazing and, despite the fact that everything looks to be the same size on pictures or on TV, that is far from the truth. Children can put their hand against an image the actual size of a gorilla paw, or go eye to partial-eye with a giant squid.

I'd especially recommend this book before taking a child to a natural museum or a zoo. It can prepare them for the massive scope of the animals they will be seeing.
