Adorable! And applicable too! What more could an Early Childhood Educator ask for, right?! I thought this book was a rare, perfect 10 out of 10 and should be a staple book on top of every teacher's bookcase. It can be used for reading, counting, thinking of abstract numbers (one million probably seems impossible to younger children) to colors, family, pets, shapes and so many, many more! The pictures were kept simple enough except for the jelly bean words and art, which will actually help develop their abstract thinking abilities. To top it all off...it was very funny too! "Utterly delightful" according to Publishers Weekly, I agree until I get to the last page and have a massive fold out pages to understand 1,000,000 jelly beans. Would love for a home collection, I would need to cut out the last page for my K-5 school library and put on display for kids to look at after reading the book. There's no way it would survive 3 book check outs without being torn. Otherwise from a math perspective wonderful way to visualize numbers. Might make you hungry for jelly beans.
What do You think about How Many Jelly Beans? (2012)?
Oh I adore this book. Bought one for myself and one for my son's classroom.

What a great book to help with the concept of what large numbers represent!
