Mind-Boggling Numbers

Michael J. Rosen, illustrated by Julia Patton

A collection of twelve imaginative math scenarios that use questions about weight, volume, distance, land, and time. Readers consider what it might take to walk to the moon, fill an Olympic-size pool with lemonade, or divide Earth’s land equally among everyone. Animals and an elephant-size piggy bank also frame the numerical comparisons, connecting calculations to deliberately unusual situations.
