* Parents' Choice Gold Award 수상작
리자의 숙제는 측정에 관한 것입니다. 측정은 우리를 둘러싸고 있는 세상의 모든 이치를 정확하게 파악하기 위한 중요한 수단이죠. 길이, 무게, 속도, 시간, 크기, 부피, 속도, 비용 등 측정의 대상이 되는 것은 아주 많습니다. 리자는 집에서 기르고 있는 애완견 패니를 측정 대상으로 삼기로 했습니다. 다른 개들과의 크기 비교, 키, 높이 뛰기, 개집에서 개밥그릇까지 뛰어 오는 시간, 개코와 개꼬리의 길이, 몸무게, 온도별 산보에 걸리는 시간, 귀 및 발자국의 크기, 개밥의 양, 패니를 기르는데 필요한 비용 및 패니가 주는 혜택의 비교 등 개 한마리를 대상으로 측정해야할 것들이 의외로 많습니다.
어린 아이들이 어렵게 생각하는 측정에 대해서 귀여운 강아지 패니를 대상으로 쉽고 재미있게 이해할 수 있도록 설명해 줍니다. (측정의 단위는 미국식인 인치, 피트, 야드, 파운드, 갤런 등을 주로 사용하고 있습니다.)
그리고 자나 저울 등을 이용한 표준 측정방법과 비교대상이 되는 다른 사물을 이용한 비표준 측정의 방법이 있다는 것을 배울 수 있으며, 아울러 다양한 비교급 표현방법도 배울 수 있습니다.

Book Description
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. 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.
Children's Literature
When Lisa's teacher, Mr. Jayson, gives a homework assignment to measure something in as many ways as possible, he couldn't have imagined the many ways Lisa discovers to measure her dog, Penny. In addition to using standard units of measure (height, width, length, weight, temperature and volume) which Mr. Jayson has listed on the blackboard, Lisa finds out how long Penny's nose is in dog biscuits, and how many cotton swabs, laid end-on-end, span the length of Penny's ear. She measures Penny's weight in relation to her canine friends, using a seesaw "scale" in the playground. She finds out how many seconds it takes Penny to dash from her dog bed to her feeding bowl at breakfast, and how many minutes per day she spends brushing Penny's fur. These measurements, and a wealth of other interesting data, are recorded in Lisa's charts, which are nicely incorporated into the illustrations. The quirky, but extremely expressive and joyful artwork gives this hardcover book a distinctive look. By any measure, Lisa and Penny make learning math concepts fun!
School Library Journal
Leedy offers another winning math-concept book. Lisa has a homework assignment to measure something in as many ways as she can, using standard and nonstandard units. "Use your imagination!" is the last instruction the teacher gives the students. Lisa chooses her Boston terrier and the fun begins. She measures Penny and a variety of other dogs. In the process, readers learn that Penny's nose is one inch long. Her tail is one biscuit long. She is bigger than a pug, smaller than a cocker spaniel, and weighs about the same as a Shetland Sheepdog. Lisa measures how much her pet eats, how high she jumps, how much time it takes to care for her, how much money is invested in her, how fast Penny runs, and a variety of other doggie traits. The results are shared with readers through charts, graphs, and reports. Large, uncluttered earth-toned pastel acrylics create a pleasing look in this clever concept book. Readers have the opportunity to learn about measuring as well as glean a lot of information about keeping a canine. A great introduction to the subject, and one that tells a good story, too.
Horn Book Magazine
Since when has homework been fun? Since Mr. Jayson assigns Lisa's class a measuring project: "1) Choose something to measure. 2) Measure it as many ways as you can: height, width, length, weight, volume, temperature, time. 3) Record your results...USE YOUR IMAGINATION." Lisa decides to measure her dog, Penny, and a cast of other dogs they meet up with at the park. Noses, tails, ears, paws-nothing escapes Lisa's measuring zeal, which she indulges in a frenzy of units ranging from inches to cotton swabs to dog biscuits to...herself (she measures how high Penny can jump up on her). She measures volume by recording how much water Penny drinks and how many units (cups, tablespoons, teaspoons) of each ingredient are used to make "Doggie Delights." Time, temperature, cost, and even value are creatively calculated throughout a day spent caring for Penny. Leedy cleverly incorporates the assignment-an instructive outline on the classroom chalkboard-and Lisa's notebook recordings into the illustrations, which depict a wide range of shapes and sizes for easy visual comparison. Anyone measuring Lisa, however, may notice that she stands barely taller than a three-foot-tall greyhound, rendering her the height of a three- or four-year-old rather than the seven- or eight-year-old this assignment suggests. Never mind-most youngsters will take this over regular homework any day.
Kirkus Reviews
A terrific pedagogical idea from Leedy (Mission: Addition, 1997, etc.) that offers instruction and no small dose of delight. Lisa's teacher assigns the middle graders to measure something both in standard units, e.g., inches and teaspoons, and in nonstandard units, e.g., in pencils or toes. Lisa measures her Boston terrier, Penny, discovering that Penny's ear is one cotton swab long (a basset hound's is three), and that she can jump as high as Lisa's waist. Other measurements are given in dog biscuits, centimeters, and the time it takes, for example, to walk Penny or to see her dash from her bed to her dish (six seconds). The illustrations, done in a primitive style with acrylics, offer solid figures and recognizable dog breeds; the design is carefully thought out and very clear. Readers will be inspired to measure their own pets; it will be up to their pets, of course, to cooperate.
Parents' Choice?
This oddball picture book will be an inspiration to any child embarked on a special homework assignment. In this instance, Lisa, an eight or nine year old, has been given a project "to measure something" in a number of ways. She selects her Boston terrier, Penny, as a subject, and the kinds and scope of her measurements are original to say the least: Penny's tail is "one dog biscuit long"; her ears are "one cotton swab long." We learn her relative size compared to other dog breeds: she's bigger than a pug, smaller than a cocker spaniel and about the same size as a Shetland sheepdog. We learn Penny's jumping range (about waist high by child measure), the amount of food and water she consumes, and the cost of her upkeep. Lisa's determination to cover all possible measurements unique to Penny is both informative and occasionally wittily and wildly inventive. Among other things, we get the subtle message that homework doesn't have to be drudgery. Parents' Choice Gold Award. (Selma G. Lanes, Parents' Choice, 1998)
Booklist
With several successful informational picture books already to her credit, including Mission Addition and Postcards from Pluto (1993), Leedy turns her attention to a subject children frequently have difficulty understanding: measurement. In this creative introduction, she takes a look at various kinds of measurement (height, weight, volume, even time and temperature) and units of measure, presenting them as part of a scenario in which a young girl, Lisa, uses her dog, Penny, to help her complete her measuring assignment for class. Crisp, carefully captioned pictures, including many easy-to-grasp visual comparisons, spread across large-size pages, making the book easy to use with a small group. Leedy goes into the most detail about height and length, demonstrating, in the illustrations and through a chart, the relationship between inches, feet, and yards. She's more general with other measures, sticking largely to introducing units of measurement (for example, tablespoon, teaspoon, second, minute), and leaving the rest up to grown-ups to explain. One of the best parts of the book is her treatment of nonstandard units, which is both fun and informative: Penny's tail is one dog biscuit long, but it takes 10 biscuits to measure the tail of a greyhound. Leedy also introduces children to the more abstract concept of value: "We decided Penny is kind of expensive . . . but she's worth it," which adults can explain further in follow-up discussions. The book is perfect for classroom use, but it's also not much of a stretch to imagine children at home whipping out measuring devices and cornering their pets.

이곳의 평도 좋았고 도서관에서 영어강의 들을때 선생님이 강추하시며 보여주셔서 구입하게 된 책입니다.미국의 학교수업(문화)도 엿볼 수 있으면서 수학공부(계량,측정)를 할 수있는 좋은 책입니다.주인공 Lisa가 학교에서 숙제를 받습니다. 저의 아이는 아직 미취학 아동이라 우리나라학교에서 이 Lisa네 학교 숙제처럼 프로젝트를 주는지 궁금하기도 하네요.
선생님이 칠판에 숙제를 주실때도 조건들만 주지 실제로 무엇을 측정할지는 아이들이 자유롭게 정하는거라 이런숙제가 익숙하지 않으면 어렵게 느껴질것같아요.
무엇이든 측정해서 기록하고 비교해보는데 스탠다드 측정단위와 비스탠다드 측정단위로도 해보는 것입니다. 주인공은 집에서 기르는 penny를 측정합니다. 자로도 이용해보고 뼈다귀 비스켓으로도 측정해보고 상당히 구체적으로 나와서 우리 아이하고도 해볼 수 있을것같아요. 페니와 비교하기 위해 동네 동물친구들을 찾아야 하는 어려움도 있지만 정말 유익하고 재미있네요
