What would happen if there weren't standard units of measurement? Enter King Balbazar's kingdom and find out! In this chaotic kingdom, spoons, sausages and candles are all used to measure things until the king is tired of miscommunication and holds a measuring contest to establish a unit that everyone will use.
This story, told in rhymes, is a fun read-aloud and the perfect addition to measurement lessons. A "Foot Note" at the end of the book provides information on the actual origin of the foot as a standard unit of measurement.
