Ideal for children curious about really big numbers, this book follows a little penguin's quest to explore tens, hundreds, thousands and the ultimate million. Featuring 100 penguins, which you can try and count together. * Practical Pre-School *
It's hard to imagine really big numbers, so here they're illustrated: 10 fish, 100 penguins, 1000 snowflakes and an amazing one million stars, printed on a special 1 x 1.5m fold-out poster at the end of the book. A lovely story that makes it much easier to visualise large numbers. * The School Run *
Perfect for children who ask lots of questions, especially 'how big, how many' questions! Pipkin is a small penguin that follows a trail of adventures trying to work out 'how big is a million'. A simple concept, with sweet illustrations, and a fantastic ending, which I won't give away! * Toppsta Reader Review *
This brand new picture book helps children understand the concept of big numbers and quantify exactly how big a million is, through the journey of inquisitive Pipkin the penguin. * Baby & Co - Story Time *
