Comparing more than two things worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to compare the heights of the animals shown:

We have four animals:
- Hippo (pink, standing)
- Giraffe (tall, with spots, arms up — but even without arms up, it’s clearly tallest)
- Tiger (sitting, striped)
- Mouse (small, gray, standing on hind legs)

Even though the giraffe has its arms raised, we can still see that its body is much taller than the others. The mouse is obviously the smallest. The hippo is bulky and tall, but not as tall as the giraffe. The tiger is sitting, so we need to imagine how tall it would be if standing — but even then, it’s shorter than the giraffe and probably shorter than or similar to the hippo? Wait — let’s look carefully.

Actually, in the image:
- The giraffe is clearly the tallest — even sitting/standing normally, its head is highest.
- The hippo is next — it’s short-legged but very tall-bodied; its top is below the giraffe’s neck.
- The tiger is sitting — if it stood up, it might be close to the hippo’s height, but since it’s drawn sitting, and compared visually, it looks shorter than the hippo.
- The mouse is tiny — definitely shortest.

But wait — question 9 asks: “Who is taller than Mouse but shorter than Hippo?” → That must be the Tiger.

Question 10: “Who is shorter than Giraffe and shorter than Tiger?” → Only the Mouse fits that? No — wait, “shorter than Giraffe AND shorter than Tiger” — that could be Mouse OR Hippo? But Hippo is taller than Tiger? Let’s reevaluate.

Actually, looking at relative heights from left to right:

1. Hippo — medium-tall
2. Giraffe — tallest
3. Tiger — sitting, so lower than standing animals, but if we compare shoulder/head level when standing... Hmm.

Wait — perhaps we should rank them by actual height if all were standing upright:

From real-world knowledge + visual clues in cartoon:

- Giraffe = tallest (no doubt)
- Hippo = second tallest (very large animal, stands about 1.5m at shoulder)
- Tiger = third (about 1m at shoulder when standing)
- Mouse = shortest (a few cm)

In the drawing:
- Giraffe’s head is highest → tallest
- Hippo’s back/top is next → second
- Tiger is sitting, so its head is lower than hippo’s back → so tiger < hippo
- Mouse is smallest → shortest

So order from tallest to shortest:
1. Giraffe
2. Hippo
3. Tiger
4. Mouse

Now answer each question:

1. Who is the shortest? → Mouse
2. Who is the tallest? → Giraffe
3. Tiger is ___ than Mouse → taller
4. Giraffe is ___ than Hippo → taller
5. Tiger is ___ than Giraffe → shorter
6. Hippo is ___ than Giraffe → shorter
7. Giraffe is ___ than Mouse → taller
8. Mouse is ___ than Tiger → shorter
9. Who is taller than Mouse but shorter than Hippo? → Tiger (since Mouse < Tiger < Hippo)
10. Who is shorter than Giraffe and shorter than Tiger? → Mouse (because Mouse < Tiger < Giraffe; Hippo is taller than Tiger, so doesn’t fit “shorter than Tiger”)

Wait — for #10: “shorter than Giraffe AND shorter than Tiger”

Animals shorter than Giraffe: Hippo, Tiger, Mouse
Among those, which are also shorter than Tiger? Only Mouse.

Hippo is taller than Tiger → so Hippo does NOT satisfy “shorter than Tiger”.

So only Mouse satisfies both conditions.

✔ All answers verified.

Final Answer:
1. Mouse
2. Giraffe
3. taller
4. taller
5. shorter
6. shorter
7. taller
8. shorter
9. Tiger
10. Mouse
