Hello Numbers! What Can You Do?: An Adventure Beyond Counting

by Edmund Harriss Author, Houston Hughes Author and Brian Rea Illustrator

 

The numbers zero to five come to life for young readers (ages 3-6) in this whimsically-illustrated collaboration between a mathematician and a poet. The rhyming tale of the numbers’ playful antics introduces counting as an intuitive and fun activity, and each page builds on the last to introduce ever-more-complex math concepts such as symmetry, angles, shapes, addition and subtraction. Illustrations by the artist behind the New York Times “Modern Love” sketches make it a visually-pleasing read even for those (parents, teachers, cool aunts, you name it) who already know how to count.
