How Much Is a Million?

An attempt to help children conceptualize the immensity of numbers. A magician demonstrates the meaning of a million by showing his four friends that it would take twenty-three days to even count to a million and that a goldfish bowl large enough to hold a million goldfish could hold a whale. The author concludes with several pages of the mathematical calculations which support his examples, very clearly and humorously explained. An unusual idea, smoothly and amusingly presented.
