**** A 2020 Mathical Book Honor Book
Two is not a lot of pennies, but it is a lot of smelly skunks. Ten is not a lot of popcorn pieces, but it is a lot of chomping dinosaurs. One thousand is not a lot of grains of sand, but it is a lot of hot air balloons!
Joey’s questions and his mom’s artful answers transform an ordinary car ride into a magical odyssey through the land of numbers.
Is Two a Lot? is a wonderfully charming and authentic exchange between mother and child.
Annie Watson’s story makes numbers tangible, and Rebecca Evans’s illustrations bring them to life.
