Still zero is a number refers to no number!

Super cute counting book that not only teaches numbers up to 10, but more importantly introduces the concept of "0。" Love it! Super cute counting book that not only teaches numbers up to 10, but more importantly introduces the concept of "0。" Love it! 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it, click here。 For Ed 230 class only Response- basic number book- not a lot to it, simple and easy - best for younger students - also teaches what none/zero is illustrations- cut out vignettes- pastel colors- medium: could be colored pencil due to softness of strokes

A GREAT counting book that introduces the idea of zero! Beautifully illustrated and a great living math book!

Those droll little ovals, the Hueys, return in this third picture-book devoted to their adventures, following upon The Hueys in the New Sweater and The Hueys in。。。 It Wasn't Me, this time exploring the idea of zero and the numbers from one to ten。 After addressing the question of whether "none" is a number at all, the Hueys count from one to ten, using many humorous examples, from the number of temper tantrums Kevin throws per day (4) to the number of oranges balanced on various objects Those droll little ovals, the Hueys, return in this third picture-book devoted to their adventures, following upon The Hueys in the New Sweater and The Hueys in。。。 It Wasn't Me, this time exploring the idea of zero and the numbers from one to ten。 After addressing the question of whether "none" is a number at all, the Hueys count from one to ten, using many humorous examples, from the number of temper tantrums Kevin throws per day (4) to the number of oranges balanced on various objects (7)。 In the end, the subject returns to the idea of "none。。。"Like its predecessors, The Hueys in None the Number pairs an amusing text with appealing artwork。 Unlike its predecessors, there isn't really so much of a story here, but the book works very well as an exploration of the concept of zero, and the fun of counting。 I find these roly-poly characters quite amusing, and appreciated the full-circle structure, in which the nature of none is raised (yet again, to the impatience of one of the Hueys) at the close of the book。 Attentive readers should look for the little informational note on the idea of none that appears on the inside of the rear book-cover。 Recommended to anyone who read and enjoyed the first two books about the Hueys, as well as to anyone looking for picture-books about the numbers, and about the concept of zero。 。。。more

Nice explainer and introduction to number sense。 Of course the illustrations were fun, but at odds with the book。 The illustrations felt like they should have been in a book for a child older than board book age。 Kind of boring。

This would be a great explanation of the number zero, except the word "zero" is nowhere in the story。 This would be a great explanation of the number zero, except the word "zero" is nowhere in the story。 。。。more

Ik was even helemaal vergeten dat ik dit boek had, dus het was een blije verrassing。 Dit was een erg leuk telboek met dit keer ook het getal geen (ook wel bekend als nul)。 Het tellen is gedaan op een grappige manier en ik moest er best om lachen。 Geinig hoe het boek begint met nul en eindigt met nul。 Natuurlijk zijn de illustraties ook super, maar ja dat verwacht ik dan ook wel van de illustator/schrijver。 :)

I loved Jeffers's other books/illustrations so I wanted to try more。 This book is a cute take on the traditional counting book and my first introduction to the Hueys。 I really liked the concept and the silly illustrations。 I like that there's a focus on "none," which is not something that gets discussed often in books for this age。 For: readers wanting a silly counting book。Possible red flags: some readers may think the book is too unconventional or confusing to be a helpful counting book for yo I loved Jeffers's other books/illustrations so I wanted to try more。 This book is a cute take on the traditional counting book and my first introduction to the Hueys。 I really liked the concept and the silly illustrations。 I like that there's a focus on "none," which is not something that gets discussed often in books for this age。 For: readers wanting a silly counting book。Possible red flags: some readers may think the book is too unconventional or confusing to be a helpful counting book for young readers。 。。。more

One of my very favorite writer illustrators right now!

Good book。 Somewhat different from normal counting books and layout。 Would be good to read children alongside their learning but maybe perhaps not in a specific subject context。

Grappig telboek vol met eivormige mannetjes, blijkbaar de Hugo's 。 Of 'geen' nu een getal is???? Dat durf ik niet te zeggen。 Maar het begrip wordt in ieder geval wel duidelijk。 Vooral de plaat waar alle dingen nog eens bij elkaar gezet worden is fijn om te tellen en te controleren, staat echt ALLES erop?! Tot slot 。。。 Al je alles weghaalt。。。dan heb je er weer geen。 Maar daar zou ik zeggen, dan heb je er weer geen één。 En dan komt vervolgens de vraag opnieuw。。。 Is geen een getal?

nice counting book with a funny twist

Saw this as a board book and snatched it up, but better for the older crowd than where we are at currently。 I'm guessing maybe best for ages 3-5 or 6? If you kid enjoys the back and forth of the secondary text in the Little Pookie books, then they will probably be old enough to appreciate it here。 But I do think some of the references are too advanced, and they didn't really go into the the relationship between none and zero。。。 Saw this as a board book and snatched it up, but better for the older crowd than where we are at currently。 I'm guessing maybe best for ages 3-5 or 6?

The Hueys are egg-shaped "people"。 This is a great series that tackles quite complex ideas simply for the target age range (3-8)。In this book, the concept is none/zero as a number。 Most children learn to count from 1, so I love this book!It reinforces addition (0+1 is 1) and subtraction (1 less than 1 is 0), and "adds one" to count from 0 to 10 and then takes them all away to get 0 again。Some of the depictions are hilarious。 I love the 4 tantrums (children will be able to relate, whether it's a The Hueys are egg-shaped "people"。 This is a great series that tackles quite complex ideas simply for the target age range (3-8)。In this book, the concept is none/zero as a number。 Most children learn to count from 1, so I love this book!It reinforces addition (0+1 is 1) and subtraction (1 less than 1 is 0), and "adds one" to count from 0 to 10 and then takes them all away to get 0 again。Some of the depictions are hilarious。 I love the 4 tantrums (children will be able to relate, whether it's a sibling or themselves) and the 5 hats (hats are a big thing for many children, especially in dressups)。 Balancing the oranges is just funny (read the book 10 Apples Up On Top next!), as is guessing the gift (children will love the "wrong" guesses)。The book also includes a short factual note about the mathematics and history of zero if adults want to explore the concept further with children。Overall - this is an essential addition in kindergarten and school libraries and in junior primary maths classes。 。。。more

96% of the universe is made out of nothing。 So yes, it does turn out that none is a number。

Un album tout en finesse qui fait comprendre les nombres aux enfants débutant dans les mathématiques。 Mais attention: l'on étudie les nombres de manière ludique, assez absurde。 Pourtant, à la fin, les enfants comprendront que les nombres ne sont pas qu'une suite de symboles, mais aussi un rapport de quantité (ex。: « - Rien est un nombre? - Bien sûr。 C'est un de moins que un。 ») Un bel album, en somme, pour se poser les bonnes questions de manière rigolote!

Never laughed so much when counting to 10 😂

A counting book that starts with NONE instead of one。 A is a little young but he still read it s couple times。

The Hueys Rule!My niece and nephew are in stitches。 I must admit to giggling a bit too! The Hueys do everything you would want from them and more besides。 Educational and witty。 Oliver Jeffers is a must have in every childhood。

A new delivery of books and a whole selection of Oliver Jeffers - wow!!!!I just had to read through them all and delight in the language and the illustrations。I love it when children ask this question as it leads to so many more questions but this book could be the start of your answer。 Kids can surely relate to this book and the actions on the pages。 Marvelous。

We loved this book so much it was funny

Great book for counting storytime。 Introduces zero as a concept and is a cute (if a bit surreal) counting story。
