This was a pretty boring book but it did have a few fun things to learn like we have 9000 taste buds on our tongue, there are 40,000 different characters in Chinese but only 26 letters in the American alphabet, 100,000 people worked 20 seasons to build one pyramid and I know how "rich" I will be in 30 days if I save 2 pennies a day.

This is a fun book that teaches students about exponents. It includes real facts that are very interesting. I plan on using this when I teach students about the different types of notation (scientific, exponential, standard).
