“For lovers of such trivia, Incredible Comparisons will be essential reading. This large, profusely illustrated book uses a novel approach to explaining physical phenomena and the creations of the made world. Basic units of measurement are the bathtub (volumes of water), the Eiffel tower (height) and the tennis court (area). How many Empire State Buildings could be made from the stones used to build the Great Pyramid? Why, 16 of course. Wonderful stuff to amuse your friends with on long winter evenings, and a wonderful way for young children to make sense of the world. This book shows how a combination of imagination and first-class graphics can convey information in a memorable and appealing way.”

Times Education Supplement 6 December 1996

This book is terrific for all ages!
“This book is enticing to the eye and the mind! It’s chock full of pictures, graphs, and charts that help define just how big a blue whale is, or just how long the Titanic is, or just how many people were killed by the Plague! It’s absolutely fascinating for children AND their parents!! I was almost more excited than my son was about it!“
