A New York Times Top 10 Best Illustrated Children's Book of 2019 A profound addition to children's book collections emphasizing the concepts of math and design - School Library Journal 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 40 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. The final page opens up to a magnificent 8 page gatefold to accomodate the final two big numbers. 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. | A Million Dots by Sven Völker, Paper over Board | Indigo Chapters
