A Million Dots

Kids' Book of the Week , January 6, 2020

Phinney Kids by Post #48

There are counting books, and then there are counting books! With elegance and imagination and, finally, an extremely long foldout page, Völker demonstrates, in concrete terms, the difference between linear and exponential growth, doubling from one dot to a million (actually, 1,048,576 to be exact) in just 21 page spreads. Your young reader might not fully understand the math, but they'll sure love all the dots. (Age 2 and up)
