Measurement Mania - Games and Activities that make math easy and fun by Lynette Long.

Great book with lots of ideas for both young children (simple games that use measuring) and older too (converting to/from metric).

Around the clock with Harriet by Betsy and Giulio Maestro) - cute book about an elephant as she goes about her day - my son loved this one
