description: Double the numbers to go from 1 to 1000000 in 40 pages. A stunning visualization of numbers big and small.We start with a single tree; 1. As we turn the page we are presented with a sum doubling the number on the page before it: 11  2; 22  4; 44  8. In this way we reach a million (actually 1048576) within 40 pages. Each sum is brought to life with a simple graphic illustration in the distinctive style of Sven Vlker. The dots form the back of a ladybird the bubbles in a cup of soda and the water in a swimming pool. The final page opens up to a magnificent 8 page gatefold to accomodate the final two big numbers. Gloriously simple in its concept and execution this is a book that will bring mathematics alive to parents as well as children and will also make a stunning gift book.
