A book to promote interest in numbers and wonder at the scale they can represent, with lots to interrogate and talk about. -- School Library Association Potential goldmine of teaching ideas. -- School Reading List Double the numbers to go from 1 to 1,000,000 in 40 pages. A stunning visualization of numbers big and small.    We start with a single tree; 1. As we turn the page, we are presented with a sum doubling the number on the page before it: 1+1 = 2; 2+2 = 4; 4+4 = 8. In this way, we reach a million (actually 1,048,576) within 44 pages.    Each sum is brought to life with a simple graphic illustration in the distinctive style of Sven V?lker. The dots form the back of a ladybird, the bubbles in a cup of soda and the water in a swimming pool. On each page, a single neon dot illustrates what one means in the context of the sum.    Gloriously simple in its concept and execution, this is a book that will bring  mathematics alive to parents as well as children and will also make a stunning gift book.","brand":"Scotia Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45249758494903,"sku":"9781908714664","price":12.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/5629\/7143\/files\/9781908714664.jpg?v=1757227453","url":"https:\/\/www.scotiabooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781908714664","provider":"scotia-books-online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
