Tips and Considerations A few jellybeans every once in awhile can have a place in an otherwise healthy diet. Excitement grows through the book as the children become more imaginative in their dreams of jelly beans, and this enthusiasm carries over to the reader — children of all ages will be tempted to count the number of jelly beans illustrated throughout the book as the illustrations display the jelly beans so convincingly, yet unconvincingly.

It is hard to believe that 10, jelly bean illustrations, or especially a million at that, are able to fit on a single page. This book is recommended as a supplemental purchase to all libraries, as it is well-done, but there may not be need in all libraries for additional counting concept books.

The large fold-out page reminded me of Actual Size , and I made a mental note to keep this in mind for class visits, since it's a book that appeals to just about everyone. Also highly recommended for classroom enrichment. Check out this book if you want to hear kids and adults go "WHOA!

The fun part - is seeing how the illustrator accommodates 1,, jelly beans on a page. The oversized nature of this book and the end page spread will pose some challenges to a school library. However, this one is well worth the inconvenience. Would love for a home collection, I would need to cut out the last page for my K-5 school library and put on display for kids to look at after reading the book.

There's no way it would survive 3 book check outs without being torn. Otherwise from a math perspective wonderful way to visualize numbers. Might make you hungry for jelly beans.
