An engaging look at the component numbers in just about everything. Hood uses simple rhymed couplets pitched to offer examples of single units composed of one to 10 separate parts. . . . Yan’s bright, full-page illustrations in cartoon-animation style star a small, dark-haired, pale-skinned child with a diverse supporting cast of child and animal characters and give energy to every spread. . . . Though some of the references are likely to be new to the audience, the illustrations provide sufficient context to carry the meaning if not all the nuances. . . . Immensely satisfying for young lovers of numbers and fascinating for everyone.
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Combining rhyming lines with context beneath, this counting picture book offers a summation of things that exist in the world.
—Publishers Weekly
With a blend of animal characters and humans who are dressed like stars, the illustrations play with the presence of light throughout the story, enforcing the idea in the book that “we’re a vast constellation.” The colorful, gentle illustrations are perfectly suited to the text, and the book feels very much like a bedtime read that can grow with a curious child.
—School Library Journal
Math meets philosophy, as Hood views numbers, specifically groups of one to ten, through a unique and thought provoking lens. . . Textured and whimsical, Yan’s digital illustrations feature a young girl dressed as a golden-yellow star who, ultimately, is joined by a diverse “constellation” of other star-children to celebrate the oneness of humanity.
—The Horn Book
A poetic ode to numeracy, this unique mathematical concept book walks the reader through numbers one through ten and explains how those are significant to a variety of topics. . . . This book would make a lovely addition to any elementary math collection.
—School Library Connection
With simple rhyming text and math examples from 1 to 10, this picture book provides a unique look at the numbers we encounter every day. . . . Bold and fun illustrations pull it all together.
—The Londoner
This unique counting book will pique your child’s curiosity, encourage them to ask questions, and look at the world in a new way.
—Brightly
That Hood and Yan go from a detailed look at how our world ‘adds up’ to such a big-picture concept (we’re all made of atoms and are all in this together) is splendid.
