Preschool/Primary (to Gr. 3) (starred review) "Zero sees herself as a big round number with emptiness inside. The other, more colorful numbers have fun, and they count. After trying to stretch and pinch herself into another shape... and making a... grand entrance that sends the other numbers tumbling, Zero is ready to listen to some wise words: '"Every number has value'... " Inspired, Zero shows the numbers how to "count even more." With her help, I becomes 10, 2 becomes 20... Zero realizes her value and feels whole. Whether seen as an introduction to zero or to self-esteem... picture book delivers on many levels... simple story and colorful, minimalist art will intrigue children, even those too young to understand every bit of wordplay and wisdom in the text... older kids will find food for thought... Every aspect of... book's illustration and design seems carefully thought out, beautifully executed, and pleasing. An impressive sequel to "One"... " - Booklist, Sept 15/10 [numbers; arithmetic].
