Synopsis
It's a long way to a million, right?
Of course it is.
But do you really know
what a million looks like?
If you'd like to see -- actually see, right now, with your own eyes -- what a million looks like, just open this book.
Be prepared to learn some interesting things along the way.
Like how many shoe boxes it would take to make a stack to Mount Everest.
And be prepared to do some number wondering of your own.
But, most of all, be prepared to be amazed.
Because a million is a LOT of dots.
Synopsis
Giddyup and gallop right over to read this rootin' tootin' tale of an unlikely cowboy. Avery's at camp, training hard with his horse and his lasso. But he's just not feeling up to the challenge. Then a bully threatens all the campersand#8212;and Avery proves his mettle in his own unique way. Kids will love the story's lively language and wildly playful pictures.
