Favorite Book Fridays: How Many Jelly Beans?

If your kid wants to know what a million looks like, How Many Jelly Beans?, by Andrea Menotti, is a must-see. Most counting books go to 10, and if you're lucky you may read one that counts clear to 20. This book just does away with 1 through 9 altogether and begins with 10. Two bickering kids and a cute little dog guide you clear up to the big ONE-OH-OH-OH-OH-OH-OH-OH-OH-OH. I have just one request for you if you choose to check it out: Be gentle with the gigantic fold-out page!
