Book
Your place in the universe / Jason Chin.
The average eight-year-old is about five times as tall as this book...but only half as tall as an ostrich. And an ostrich is half as tall as a giraffe, which is one twentieth as tall as a California redwood! How do redwoods compare to the tallest building? To Mount Everest? To planets, stars, galaxy clusters...and the universe? Jason Chin, the award-winning author and artist of Grand Canyon and other distinguished informational books, has once again found a way to make a complex subject (size, scale, and almost unimaginable distance) accessible and understandable to readers of all ages. Starting small and moving through the astronomical, this is a book that will truly allow you to find your place in the universe.
