Even as adults, there are many numbers which are so mind-boggling
that we just can't take them in,so just imagine how hard children
must find it to assimilate big numbers. This clever book brings
things down to a human scale by comparing huge events, times and
space with thing we can touch in our daily lives ... It's a book to
fascinate all age groups, and will be brilliant in the classroom to
help with maths science and other subjects. Quite brilliant *
Parents In Touch *
Ingenious illustrations which not only make this book a valuable
classroom resource but give it the 'wow' factor for young
information seekers * Evening Echo (Cork) *
A fascinating information picture book ... By means of relatively
spare, carefully written text and illuminating and entertaining
infographics Smith and Adams make complex facts to do with time,
history, space and life itself comprehensible ... Thoroughly
recommended for classrooms and libraries ... children (and adults)
will pore over it * School Librarian *
This beautifully illustrated book introduces the idea of scale to
students. Big questions are explored in a way that will really
appeal to visual learners and may prompt students to explore the
ideas further.... I would recommend this book to students in key
stages 2 and 3, particularly those interested in exploring big
science questions and embarking on projects. * School Science
