Cute story about numbers with simple, colorful illustrations. My only problem with this book is the rhyme--reading it out loud, it's hard to find a rhythm to it, so it just feels awkward a lot of the time.

Love this book - cute little story and very cool typography and design. It sits on a display shelf in my daughter's room when we're not reading it.

Love this book! It's ONE-derful! The children in our house place this volume at the top of their request list. Numbers, simple addition, and friendship all rolled into ONE. The text and graphics are simple yet entertaining to the younger set -- the target audience. Beginning readers may also enjoy tackling this ONE. I recommend this book -- will buy it again to give as gifts -- encourage friends to get a copy. It is truly ONE of a kind!

I have given this book several times, most recently to my 2-year old niece. She really seems to like it! The story is lovely, but the drawings and design are what make the book so touching and beautiful. Paul Rand always seemed to be able to see beyond the letters on the page, beyond the company name or slogan, and here he does the same, making the "one" and the "zero" not only typographical but narrative characters. It's just so clever and cute!

This is one of our very favorites. My son got it for Christmas when he was three and we still enjoy to this day. The artwork is fantastic and the story is really endearing.
