Is 2 a Lot

- Reviews -

. . . What is "a lot" to you, personally? The idea of turning that kind of discussion with a child into a book with a plot can be intimidating. Watson and Evans' solution seems to be to inject a little time travel into the proceedings. A boy and his mother are driving and he' s peppering her with questions about numbers' worths. Eventually she comes up with concrete examples about why a number cannot be said to always be big or small. Stuff like, "TWO is not a lot of pennies, but TWO is a lot of smelly skunks. " There' s a practicality to the book that' s refreshing. --Betsy Bird "FUSE #8 Production" (7/25/2019 12:00:00 AM) A picture book that accurately depicts how children think about numbers and values in a fun and engaging way. Readers will want to count the number of skunks, cowboys, and other imaginative creatures and objects Joey and his mother discuss throughout the book, and they will enjoy seeing various characters from the places they visit pile into the trunk of the station wagon. Children who are learning the meaning of value and numbers will both learn from this book, with its whimsical examples of what a lot means, and find much to enjoy.
