{"product_id":"a-million-dots","title":"A Million Dots","description":"Winner of the New York Times Top 10 Best Illustrated Children's Books of 2019.\n\n A book to promote interest in numbers and wonder at the scale they can represent, with lots to interrogate and talk about. -- School Library Association\n\n Potential goldmine of teaching ideas. -- School Reading List\n\n Double the numbers to go from 1 to 1,000,000 in 40 pages. A stunning visualization of numbers big and small.\n\n 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: 1+1 = 2; 2+2 = 4; 4+4 = 8. In this way, we reach a million (actually 1,048,576) within 44 pages.\n\n Each sum is brought to life with a simple graphic illustration in the distinctive style of Sven Voelker. The dots form the back of a ladybird, the bubbles in a cup of soda and the water in a swimming pool. On each page, a single neon dot illustrates what one means in the context of the sum.\n\n 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.","brand":"Cicada Books Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39656726069333,"sku":"9781908714664N","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/7686187c-8b29-496c-8339-c8460f05c0b7.jpg?v=1644267510","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/a-million-dots","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
