Well, sometimes ... 1 sun is a lot. 1 dog is a lot. 2 can even be too much. And when it comes to rain clouds, 0 is perfect. It's curious, but true. It all depends on what you're counting!</p><p>Bestselling and critically acclaimed author Mượn Thị Văn offers an innovative and thought-provoking look at the question, How many is enough? Simple page by simple page, young readers are shown examples of how, when counting things, the smallest numbers --- 0, 1 and 2 --- can mean a little, a lot or just the right amount. With its playful spirit and lyrical text, this unique, philosophical picture book promotes critical thinking, observation and discussion, even among the youngest children, and introduces a new way to appreciate numbers. Full of energy and humor, Pierre Pratt's illustrations tell a story within the story that adds a separate narrative layer to the spare text.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>... simple and deep ...--<i><b>ABQLA</b></i><br><br>One unique picture book with much to say equals quite a lot.--<i><b>Kirkus Reviews, starred review</b></i><br><br>One Is A Lot (Except When It's Not) is a delight for both children and the adults who will read with them.--<i><b>CM Magazine</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Muon Thi Van is the critically-acclaimed author of In a Village by the Sea, which was a JLG selection and the winner of the 2016 Northern California Book Award for Best Picture Book.
