The book begins with small, easily observable numbers before building up to truly gigantic ones, like a nonillion, a tredecillion, a googol, and even ones too huge for names! Any person, regardless of age, can benefit from reading this book. Readers will find themselves returning to its pages for a very long time, perpetually learning from and growing with the narrative as their knowledge deepens. Really Big Numbers is a wonderful enrichment for any math education program and is enthusiastically recommended to every teacher, parent and grandparent, student, child, or other individual interested in exploring the vast universe of numbers.

Alors que sa mère a pêché dix poissons pour leur déjeuner, un jeune manchot lui demande à quoi peut bien ressembler un million de choses.

Ce sera cependant au retour à l'igloo, en soirée, que sa mère lui exposera ce que fait un million lorsque vient le temps de compter les étoiles... [SDM]. Une pochette renfermant une grande affiche illustrant le firmament de manière simplifiée permet au lecteur de visualiser ce nombre abstrait pour plusieurs. De mignonnes aquarelles, mariant la lumière polaire aux ombres bleues de la neige, animent cet album original inspiré d'une question couramment posée par les très jeunes écoliers. [SDM].
