Zero the Hero

40 pp. | Holt/Ottaviano | February, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-9384-1 $16.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Tom Lichtenheld. Poor Zero is having a hard time proving himself as a superhero. Folks mistake him for a doughnut, and the rules of addition and subtraction render him useless. But when our hero disappears, things get rough in the number world. Tiny visual jokes and graphic elements keep this mathematically accurate book humming with humor for the confident and mathphobic alike.
