From Zero to Ten: The Story of Numbers

32 pp. | Oxford | November, 2002 | Library ISBN 0-19-521925-2 $$16.95
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Ross Collins. Conversational if somewhat long-winded passages explain the need for and development of mathematical ideas like place value, base ten, zero, and standard units of measure. Quirky cartoon illustrations feature incongruous elements, such as a pope holding a calendar and dancing with an owl that's clutching the number seven, and include corny jokes that some young readers won't get. Glos.
