<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Zero believes that he is a hero, but the counting numbers think he is worthless until they get into trouble with some Roman numerals, and only Zero can help. Full color.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada.</i> That's what all the other numbers think of Zero. He doesn't add anything in addition. He's of no use in division. And don't even ask what he does in multiplication. (Hint: <i>Poof!</i>) But Zero knows he's worth a lot, and when the other numbers get into trouble, he swoops in to prove that his talents are innumerable.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"...cartoon energy and amusing visual asides, this story does for numbers what Laurie Keller did for states..." --<i>Booklist</i> <p/>"This tale not only reinforces mathematical principles, but also has a great message about friendship and personal feelings. It can be read aloud, alone, or performed as reader's theater." --<i>School Library Journal</i> <p/>"Read this aloud to whet the new reader's appetite, but there is just so much to see that only a slow reading, with a magnifying glass in hand, will do." --<i>Horn Book Magazine</i> <p/>"...features walking, talking written characters (digits, in this case, rather than letters), accompanied by Lichtenheld's snappy, cartoon-style art." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"A hero and some villains and good winning over evil (oh, and all that educational stuff, too), all wrapped in humor and tied with a comic bow--what could be better?" --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Joan Holub</b> has authored and/or illustrated over 120 children's books, including <i>Shampoodle</i> and <i>Groundhog Weather School</i>.
