What does a million look like? This is a really fun way to illustrate the concept of large numbers to young children. Makes a really visually dramatic read-aloud.

Be aware that the fold-out pages will require reinforcing if the book is to be circulated.

Publisher's description (courtesy of Amazon.com):

How many jelly beans are enough? How many are too many? Aiden and Emma can't decide. Is 10 enough? How about 1,000? That's a lot of jelly beans. But eaten over a whole year, it's only two or three a day. This giant picture book offers kids a fun and easy way to understand large numbers. Starting with 10, each page shows more and more colorful candies, leading up to a giant fold-out surprise—ONE MILLION JELLY BEANS! With bright illustrations and an irresistible extra-large format, How Many Jelly Beans? makes learning about big numbers absolutely scrumptious!
