Golden Numbers: A California Number Book

by David Domeniconi, Pam Carroll (Illustrator)

In what state can one find a basket so tiny it fits on the head of a pin; a 14-inch-long water "bully"; and a house where 22 carpenters worked 24/7 for 38 years? Why California, of course! The land of golden sunsets, golden dreams, and now golden numbers. With their clever poems and colorful artwork, David Domeniconi and Pam Carroll, the duo behind G is for Golden: A California Alphabet, continue their travelogue of the "golden state" in Golden Numbers: A California Number Book. Young readers will learn about the state's diverse wildlife, its many innovative contributions to science and industry, its stunning geography, and much more.

The illustrations are beautiful and the information is engaging but some of the rhymes are stilted. I think the extra information for each number would have been better suited to an appendix at the end. It kind of ruined the picture book flow.
