This book is an endlessly intriguing guide to better understanding all those really big ideas and numbers children come across on a regular basis. It has found clever devices to scale down everything from timelines (the history of Earth compressed into one year), to size differences (the planets shown as different types of balls). By simply reducing everything to the human scale, he has made the incomprehensible easier to grasp, and therefore more meaningful.

If someone handed you a big bowl of jelly beans, how would you figure out how many there are? You could count them, one by one―or you could estimate. Do you see more than five jelly beans? Less than a million?
We use estimation in Math when the exact answer to a problem is not required. The said problem can be resolved with an approximately realistic value. Estimating also helps us get the answer to a calculation faster.
