Schwartz has done an excellent job at helping children explore the wonders of math! I loved how David M. Wow! This book was simply amazing! David M. “If you wanted to count from one to one million, it would take you about twenty-three days.”
This book basically explains about how much a million would be and here is one of the excerpts from the book that explains about how much a million really is: Schwartz along with illustrations by Steven Kellogg and it is about how Marvelosissimo the Mathematical Magician shows kids how much it would take to count to a million! “How Much Is a Million?” is a truly brilliant book for children who want to learn more about mathematics! I have actually first heard of this book through “Weston Woods” and I have enjoyed it ever since! “How Much Is a Million?” is a mathematical children's book by David M. But I still love the land outside my door in northern California, and the same distant stars that inspired me years ago. I've been to Africa to study hippos, to South America to visit an indigenous tribe living in the rain forest, and to far northern Scotland to track illegal egg collectors. I also write science articles for magazines, especially Smithsonian, and to do the research I've made exciting trips to some of the more remote corners of several continents. That night I was inspired to write my first book, How Much Is a Million? Now, almost 50 books later, I spend much of my time finding unusual, whimsical ways to make math and science come alive for kids and teachers, both through my writing, and through speaking at schools and conferences. I suddenly remembered my childhood awe at the wonders of space. Years later, on a clear spring night, I looked up at the sky and a shower of memories descended. With binoculars and magnifying glass, I also focused on closer subjects like birds, flowers, frogs and bugs.īut science and math weren't my only fascinations: I also loved bicycles, baseball, boats…and ice cream. The huge numbers of stars and their sizes and distances never failed to amaze me. As a child, I was filled with a sense of awe as I contemplated the universe.
