Pebbles and the Biggest Number by Joey Benun, Illustrated by Laura Watson

Pebbles and the Biggest Number by Joey Benun, illustrated by Laura Watson, is an immaculately designed book for children that will help them discover the world. When Pebbles the butterfly realizes that he has never counted beyond the number of flowers in his garden – 42 – he sets off on a quest to find the highest number. Complete with interesting scientific facts, such as the temperature of the sun, each page is also a learning experience, alongside Pebbles’ engaging quest. Some of these facts are a fair bit more advanced than the story, but all in all this is a beautifully written and illustrated book, with a great introduction to the wonders of science and nature.
