Summary: Great for Middle School Math Class
Date: 2008-11-17 -
Comment: I use this book to introduce proportional reasoning. I've created activities that extend the ideas. Great book...even for older kids.
Summary: Interesting Animal Information!

Comment: This book was very interesting. It tells you how a frog can jump twenty times it's body length and how far you could jump if you could hop like a frog. It also tells you how much weight you could lift if you were as strong as an ant. And much more.
I read this book with my mom and did the math calculations with my dad. It was a fun way to learn about insects, reptiles and animals.
I think teachers should use this book to help their students learn about math.

Comment: I am a high school math teacher and I use this book to help my freshmen learn about ratios and proportions. They use the proportions to calculate how much they could swallow, how far they could jump, etc. They're astonished at the results!

Summary: This Is An Amazing Book
Date: 2001-12-07 -
Comment: This book offers a look at the wonders of the natural world by comparing the capabilities of many different animals and birds in human terms. The concept, together with the large and vivid illustrations hooked me from the beginning. This book really challenges a child to think and causes an adult to marvel at God's creations. "If you hopped like a frog...you could jump from home plate to first base in one mighty leap!...If you grew as fast in your first nine months as you did in the nine months before you were born...you would have been...heavier than 2 1/2 million elephants!" Just imagine that!

Summary: If You Hopped Like a Frog

Comment: This book was so enjoyable! The pictures were great!It gave you facts, and then expanded on those facts to give you information how it would affect you. As a teacher, I could use this book as an introduction and then have my students make a spin-off class book.
