(2) PS Originally published in 1985 in Japan, Gomi's latest import is a delightful exploration of the many ways in which "numbers are everywhere!" Written in short, declarative sentences, the text points out that numbers have many uses, from telling time to indicating temperature to identifying prices and so on. Gomi's illustrations balance plenty of white space with colorful, expressive vignettes featuring a variety of children and adults.
