A Hundred Billion Trillion Stars by Seth Fishman

5.0

When the Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards were announced, I had already read 4 of the 9 titles, so decided to try to read the rest. The way the illustrations "jump out" set this book apart from many of the others that like to include various numbers about everything from the miniscule to the interplanetary. It would be fun to have students write their own book in a similar style with the stats of their choice. I think my favorite fact included was that the weight of the ants on earth is about equal to that of the humans!
