Zero the Hero by Joan Holub

 

 

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. Zero the Hero by Joan Holub illustrated by Tom Lichtenheld was published in January 2011. 

This book is so colorful in the illustration. We used this book to introduce numbers to the kids. I love the story-line in this book. It's such a whimsical book that you can find about numbers. Cassie loved how silly the book was. The thing to know it's a hard book to read aloud as it is most in speech bubbles of the characters. So it's a lot of bouncing around all over the place. There is videos of others reading it online though so that might be an option. I recommend checking out this book.
