How Many Jelly Beans? A Giant Book of Giant Numbers!

(Chronicle Books) This large picture book for children 3 to 8 years old features Emma and her Brother Aiden, who talk about how many jellybeans they would like to eat. The number grows from 10 to one million — which is dramatically illustrated on a large foldout page at the end of the book. An editor and writer for Scholastic and Chronicle Books, Menotti also spent a few years as a teacher in the New York City public schools. For the past two years she has been working on an M.B.A. at Cornell. She is married to Labat, the book’s illustrator.
