review 1: Ok let's just start with the two Hueys on the title page who are holding up fingers to indicate "Zero, one, two, three." They totally look like they are throwing up gang signs, and I LOVE THAT.Then let's address the fact that FOUR is the number of tantrums Kevin throws every day. Some kids will nod and go, "I know a kid like Kevin," and others will be like, "Man, I'm so glad Kevin isn't my brother," while still others will be reassured. "I totally throw four tantrums a day," they'll think. "Whew - I appear to be within normal levels."SIX is fishermen waiting for the bus, and if you think Oliver Jeffers is not affected by living in Brooklyn surrounded by hepcats, just take a look at the peacoat and Breton jersey - to say nothing of the hats - on this page.NINE is seagulls t... morerying to snag Frank's french fries, which reminds me of a tragic story involving a saltshaker on the Ocean City boardwalk. That poor bird.So all told, I'd have to call None the Number my favorite one-to-ten book since One Was Johnny.
review 2: This book makes counting fun. I have to admit, when I was young, and someone told me that zero was a number I could not wrap my head around it. I so wish I had this book to help me understand the “none” is a number. You just have to look at it through the Huey’s eyes.With simple illustrations, the Hueys will guide your young scholar with the challenging task of learning to count. Be it one blue phone or five hats or ten trumpeters walking by – when they are all gone you are left with none.I loved this book more than I thought I would and I am sure that the time you and your young reader spend together will be a delight to you both. less

Counting book with big bold print and numbers; Some humor in there for the parents as well

I'm not really a Jeffers fan but I enjoyed this explanation of the number "none".
