Description

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 colourful sweets 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!
