Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
Is it possible that How Much Is A Million? has been out for twenty years already? It is a rare book in the publishing world that remains in print for that length of time. When it does it is generally one that children find intriguing, parents find important, and teachers find useful. This book is the perfect trifecta! A concept book at heart, How Much Is A Million? strives to provide children with tangible ways to grasp what exactly a million of something might look like. There are many adults who would be hard-pressed to understand what a million looks like. Schwartz uses something children know like goldfish and shows that if a goldfish bowl could hold a million goldfish, then the bowl would be big enough to hold a whale. Kellogg's illustrations are integral to the text in this book; it is important that children "see" what that would look like. Kellogg draws a whale in an enormous goldfish bowl with children standing beside it to give it a visual scale. In example after example, Schwartz and Kellogg team up to assist children in understanding what would otherwise be an incomprehensible notion. How much IS a million? 2005 (orig. 1985), HarperCollins, Ages 3 to 6.
—Joan Kindig, Ph.D.

    Fun book, looks at numbers with fun examples.

    We've read this book a few times but it still gives my son the wow factor. Did you know it would take a lifetime to count from 1 to 1 million? Interesting stuff for a 5 year old and mom.

    Great for elementary schools

    As a father and a future elementary teacher, I'm always looking for interesting books to be able to read my students and son. I learned of this book in one of my math for elementary teacher classes and loved the idea. Since then, I have had numerous opportunities to read this book to students while volunteering and working in schools.

    My kids love this book

    My four year old daughter was a real numbers whiz, and this book fascinated her as well as her older brother. Two years later they still get it out and look at it together and talk about 'what if we had a million pennies' etc. I thought it was very unique and it was the perfect book for a child who loved to talk about numbers.
