"The whole world is filled with big, enormous, gigantic, humongous, incredible numbers." What a ton of fun. The playful art does a pretty good job of illustrating what the text is getting at, considering it's impossible to actually illustrate all three trillion trees, for example. And a neat choice to print the numeral within the text ("2,500,000") and the name for it ("two million five hundred thousand") at the bottom of the page.

When the Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards were announced, I had already read 4 of the 9 titles, so decided to try to read the rest. The way the illustrations "jump out" set this book apart from many of the others that like to include various numbers about everything from the miniscule to the interplanetary. It would be fun to have students write their own book in a similar style with the stats of their choice. I think my favorite fact included was that the weight of the ants on earth is about equal to that of the humans!

Excellent non-fiction picture book about space, numbers, and ways to quantify both.

This is, as you may be able to guess from the title, a book about numbers. Big numbers. It's a great way to start introducing kids to perspective and the relationship between things. It's also great for those kids who ask a thousand strange questions--just because they can.
Full disclosure: I forgot how to even read some of these numbers out loud. I knew what they meant, but reading them to a kid? W-e-l -l.
I'd probably have another book of random questions and answers on hand (My mom still has The Big Book of Questions from when I was a kid, even though it's outdated now. My brother was a "why"er.) because I'm sure "How many _____" will be inspired by this adorable book.

I loved this book and plan to use it for a lesson on estimating.
