When a supersaurus and a blue whale both claim to be the world’s longest animal, an inchworm and centipede step in to measure using inches and centimeters. But how do you compare different units? Luckily, a math-loving Dragonfly arrives to convert. Who do you think is bigger? The supersaurus or the blue whale? Carolyn Fisher’s vibrant illustrations and playful speech bubbles bring this funny STEM story to life. Kids learn about measurement systems, data collection, and even scientific names. I’m Longer Than You is useful for both learning math and science. It is a smart, funny, and highly original way to explore units of measurement. There are also extra facts, charts, and real-world applications included in the back of the book, a great companion for class activities. This book would make an excellent addition to any library that children have access to, whether it’s a personal, public, or school library.
