Illustrated by
Barbara Garrison.
"There may be only one neighborhood, but there is so much in it." On each double-page spread, repetitive left-hand text attempts to illustrate conceptual differences between one and many ("...only one pizzeria...many pizzas"), while textured mixed-media collagraphs (some muddy) on the right-hand pages show homey city scenes. A sappy ending--"...there are many countries. But...only one wish: PEACE"--hammers home the book's message.
