![]() ![]() ![]() So, with the review written for this book, now exactly 50% of my rated books are reviewed. Note to self: 01/10/11, Goodreads member since 05/07: This is my Goodreads review #1499 and my 2,998th rated book. I can see some adults being irritated by this book and some kids not being incredibly enthusiastic, but it worked for me. It is a good read aloud book with a lot of opportunity to use voice inflection and acting as the reader reads. I could see discussions starting about numbers & counting, working collaboratively, connections between those with differences, and on and on. There is a story, and for some kids it will serve as a springboard to practicing counting, and some will appreciate the story on its own. The book is colorful and the pages are appealing to view. ![]() Two through nine stay in the same bright colors on every page. Zero is gray, as is one, which is a slightly different shade of gray. My favorite line is “Zero felt empty inside.” Zero is a character with a personality in this book. ![]() The counting starts from 1 to 7 then 1-9, then 10, 20, etc. I was sufficiently impressed that I just reserved One at the library, another earlier book by this author that seems to be a companion book to this one. The story and illustrations are enjoyable and educational and a bit philosophical. I loved the premise and liked the execution well enough. ![]()
