Visualizing a million, billion, or trillion (or other concepts like compound interest and the metric system) isn’t easy, unless you read this fun series of books. <\/p>\n

For example, a tank big enough to hold a million goldfish would be big enough to hold a whale. A tank big enough to hold a billion goldfish would be as big as a stadium. And a tank big enough to hold a trillion goldfish would be as big as a city harbor. (Keeping in mind a tank should hold one gallon of water for every one inch goldfish!) <\/p>\n

Steven Kellogg’s cheerful illustrations keep things light, bright, and engaging. How Much is a Million?<\/em> is our favorite of the series.<\/p>\n
