math&calcs book 4 kids, any suggestions?

Perhaps the most beautiful book (no math, but would spark a curiosity of the world of science) is Morrison and Eames (spelling)? Powers of Ten from the Scientific American Library. The essay and images and accompanying descriptions are a treasure. After an amazing introduction essay, the book has images of a picnic scene in Chicago, first from 1 meter above a couple having a picnic, and each page travels a power of 10 out from the scene, each descriptive text discussing the features of the world that occurs at that scale. It goes out to, I believe, 10^25 meters. Then, the book returns to the picnic scene, and dives in a power of 10 at a time, down to, I believe, 10^-14 meters. This is a book that I've been coming back to, to savor for several decades!
