If there were a What a Great Idea! book award, Actual Size would win hands down. Gorgeous paper collages provide a fascinating representation of the actual size of different animals, including a Goliath frog and a Giant Walking Stick insect. Even better are illustrations of parts of large animals, like the 12-inch eye of the 59-foot long giant squid, a gorilla hand, an elephant foot, and more.
