Some buildings are so tall it's hard to grasp just how far they rise into the air. In this book, kids will discover the most spectacular skyscrapers in the world and come to understand their incredible features through size comparisons and dazzling photos. For example, readers will learn about the tallest building in China, the Shanghai World Financial Center. It's 1,614 feet (492 m) tall - a big number that's easier to understand if you know it's equivalent to a thousand giraffes stacked on top of one another! Packed with large, full-color photos and fascinating comparisons, this book will help readers understand the larger-than-life features of these buildings in terms they can understand.
