Max Math's Adventure

Max's Math Adventures
Ruth and I use our eyes To look around
At things in town And compare their size.

House
Size By Your Eyes
 
We saw a HOUSE.
We saw a MOUSE.
We saw them with our eyes.
Can you figure
Which is bigger?
Or are they the same size?

We saw a RAKE.
We saw a SNAKE.
We saw them with our eyes.
Here's an order:
Which one's shorter?
Or are they the same size?

We saw a PAN.
We saw a FAN.
We saw them with our eyes.
Won't you holler —
Which one's smaller?
Or are they the same size?

We saw a NICKEL.
We saw a PICKLE.
We saw them with our eyes.
Here's a riddle:
Which one's little?
Or are they the same size?
