A stunning graphic visualisation of numbers big and small.
We start with a single tree; 1. As we turn the page, we are presentedwith 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.
With a magnifcent fold-out concertina for the final two numbers, this is a gloriously simple and graphically striking book that brings mathematics alive to parents and children.

"Volker has created an approachable introduction to numeracy, but also rendered math beautiful and entrancing." - The New York Times
