Bookroo's summary
Dive into a fascinating journey of size and scale, where a blue whale, the largest creature on Earth, is dwarfed by a hollow Mount Everest, which itself is tiny compared to the planet. Discover how these colossal comparisons reveal the true enormity of our universe.
From the publisher
The blue whale is the biggest creature on Earth. But a hollow Mount Everest could hold billions of whales! And though Mount Everest is enormous, it is pretty small compared to the Earth. This book is an innovative exploration of size and proportion.
