A Million Dots

從一數到一百萬需要多久的時間呢? 一個一個慢慢數的話當然要很久，但如果是乘法呢?

在這本作品中，我們每翻一頁，原本的數字就會變為原來的兩倍! 從一顆點點開始計算，44頁後竟然可以達到超過一百萬嗎? 最有趣的是代表每一頁數字的圖片也都不一樣喔，這些點點能夠千變萬化成日常的各種東西，快來看看有什麼吧!

Winner of the New York Times Top 10 Best Illustrated Children’s Books of 2019.
Double the numbers to go from 1 to 1,000,000 in 40 pages. A stunning visualization of numbers big and small.

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.

Each sum is brought to life with a simple graphic illustration in the distinctive style of Sven Völker. 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.

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.
