When you read this book by Oliver Jeffers, you can count on laughing.
In the Brooklyn author-illustrator’s latest — “None the Number: A Counting Adventure” — starring his lovable oval characters, the Hueys, Jeffers tackles the mathematical concept of “the number before one.” The counting book, particularly suited to tots ages 3 to 5, has his delightfully unexpected text — “Nine seagulls that are after Frank’s French fries,” and enjoy! When it comes to “None the Number: A Counting Adventure,” we have zero complaints.
