Little Numbers: And Pictures That Just Show Just How Little They Are
Edward Packard. Millbrook Press, $15.95 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-7613-1397-7
A companion volume to Big Numbers, the math concept book Little Numbers by Edward Packard, illus. by Salvatore Murdocca, explores the world of fractions. ""We'll start big with the number 1,"" kicks off the proceedings with a single seismosaurus on the front lawn. Things quickly diminish from there, as each turn of the page finds the critter shrinking to 1/10th of its size, then 1/100th, all the way down to one trillionth. Murdocca's cartoon illustrations allow for more information and comic asides. (Sept.)
