The Big Book of Numbers by Felicity Brooks is a unique and engaging picture book that introduces children to the significance of different numbers and the things they are associated with. The book is filled with fascinating facts, such as the fact that an octopus has three hearts, every snowflake has six points, giraffes have seven bones in their necks, cloud cover is measured in ‘oktas’ from 0 to 8, and that nine is lucky in China (but unlucky in Japan).
