Through the story of a King, his Queen, and an apprentice carpenter, the narrative addresses the confusion that arises when measuring objects like beds based on the variable size of a person's foot. The book balances humor with educational value, highlighting the importance of standardized measurement systems. Its playful tone and engaging illustrations make it an accessible introduction to the concept of units, while serving as a satirical nod to the complexity of non-metric systems. The story is recommended for young children, offering both entertainment and a gentle lesson on the necessity of universal standards in mathematics and daily life.",{"@graph":69,"@context":123},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":10,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/how-big-is-a-foot/415576/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/how-big-is-a-foot/415576.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"kopisore","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-09-28",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",16,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109,115,119],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"Who wrote and illustrated the book 'How Big Is a Foot?'","Question",{"text":113,"@type":114},"The book was written and illustrated by Rolf Myller.","Answer",{"name":116,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":117},"What is the central theme of the story?",{"text":118,"@type":114},"The story centers on the challenges of using non-standard units of measurement, such as a person's foot, and the resulting confusion in determining the size of objects like a bed.",{"name":120,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":121},"To what does the author dedicate the book?",{"text":122,"@type":114},"The author dedicates the book to the metric system, noting that its absence in the country made the writing of such a story possible.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":125,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":127,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":129,"site_id":62},415576,1791876870,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":132},{"doc_id":129,"user_id":133,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":134,"doc_module":4,"category_id":8,"category_name":10,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":135,"file_id":136,"file_url":137,"file_type":138,"file_size":139,"view_count":105,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":140,"language":141,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":142,"faqs":143,"seo_title":144,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":145,"read_time":146},962090880963,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_6f874abed73319feea01a86fa6f0fab8","# HOW BIGS A FOOT?\n\nHANCHESTE  \nHOW BIG IS A FOOT?writen and illustrated byROLF MYLLER  \nThree feet make a yard.  \nFive and a half yards make a rod.Forty rods make a furlong.Eight furlongs make a mile.Three miles make a league.  \n# But,how big is a foot?\n\nThe question is a good one.And RolfMyller undertakes to answer it in this book.The answer is really,“Well,it all depends.”  \nWhat it depends upon rests upon the an-swers to such questions as \"How big is abed?”,\"How big is the foot of a king?\",and \"How big is the foot of a small appren-tice carpenter?\".Furthermore,it might evenhave something to do with how good asculptor a king might call in,in an emer-gency.  \nHere is a story full of nonsense,and analmost equal amount ofsense.What it meanswill depend upon the reader;but basicallyit means a good story that even young chil-dren will enjoy reading to themselves.  \nATHENEUM PUBLISHERS  \n610;IS$4-57  \n# WITHDRAWN\n\n# ROLFMYLLER\n\nHOW BIG IS A  \nFO○T?
