Can You Count to a Googol?

(4) K-3 Effective when it uses familiar objects, such as 10,000 pennies or 100,000 marshmallows, to get across a sense of a number's size, this counting book falters with its larger number examples, such as the distance between the sun and the next closest star (25 trillion years), which may be difficult for young readers to conceptualize. Playful pen and acrylic illustrations feature monkey and penguin astronauts.
