What does a little ladybird weigh? A snail? A swan? In her extraordinary picture book Alison Limentani introduces children to a fascinating world of wildlife, weight, numbers, and comparisons. Did you know that five starlings weigh the same as one squirrel - or that three rabbits weigh the same as one fox cub? Kids - and parents, too - will be amazed and amused by every surprising and intriguing page.
