Synopsis:
Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. 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: Poof!) 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.
My Thoughts:
Zero the Hero is a great children’s book. It teaches children a lot of useful information about numbers. From this book, children can learn how to count from one to ten. It also teaches a lot of math skills. Children can learn division, subtraction, multiplication, and addition. They can also learn how to count in roman numerals. The illustration of Zero multiplying by a rock is a little silly but it reinforces that multiplying anything by zero is zero. I like the numbers witty and punny commentary. I think kids as young as four should read this book because it makes math easy to understand at a young age.
I give Zero the Hero: 4/5.
