Filled to Capacity is a fun story about characters who represent different units of capacity planning a party. Meet Gallon Gail, the Quarts Cousins, the Pint Pals, the Crazy Cups, and the Little Ounces! But uh-oh, when it’s time for the sleepover, they face a problem—everyone can’t fit into Gallon Gail!

This story will teach you about different measurements like gallons, quarts, pints, cups, and ounces, all while having fun!
