Chronicle Books How Many Jelly Beans?: A Giant of Giant Numbers

The vibrant illustrations and engaging concept make learning big numbers a delight. My kid absolutely loves it, and it's become a favorite bedtime read. Highly recommend for a fun and educational experience!

A mi hija le encanta. Gracias

Fantastic book - really helps children grasp the concept of big numbers - which they are so excited by. My son (age 5) wants to read this every night and took it to school - the teacher shared it with the whole class. Now my two kids 'act it out' like a play. Just beware that the 'tone' is American. My kids didn't know what a jelly bean was - we had to buy some!

Large children’s book. A fabulous and engaging resource for numeracy development in early childhood. Children just love reading it and engaging in numeracy as they do.

A recent New York Times book review called Menotti and Labat's work "ingenious," and it's easy to see why. This charming book teaches kids about BIG numbers (1-10 are so yesterday). The colorful adventures of jelly-bean lovers Aiden and Emma take young readers through pages of literally thousands and thousands of jelly beans, teaching them to conceptualize numbers as big as 10,000, 100,000, 500,000, and finally, 1 million. I only wish I'd had a copy as a kid--I struggled learning the big numbers; I could never remember how many zeros I needed! This book makes a wonderful present and I've already given it to all the kids in my life. It doesn't matter if they're already reading chapter books--this will delight readers of any age. When my cousin's 7-year-old son got to the surprise fold-out page at the end (which features a million jelly beans), he actually yelped, "Whoa--that's too many jelly beans!" We all roared with laughter. I can't recommend this enough and suggest you add it to your holiday lists. You won't be sorry! ALSO--This book just won the Bank Street Center for Children's Literature Cook Prize for the best picture book that teaches science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) principles. So that's just one more reason to share it with all the kids you know...we need to inspire more kids to pursue these fields!

My kids LOOOOVE this book. My son took it out of the library multiple times at his old school.. and his new school doesn’t have it, so I bought it to add to our collection. We’ve read it half a dozen times at least in the past week. He’s so happy to be reunited with the book!
