(3) K-3 Illustrated by Paul Rand. Lonely Little 1 tries to find someone to play with but is rebuffed by all the numbers he meets. Finally, Little 1 meets a hoop who masquerades as a zero, and together they can pretend to be the number 10. Little 1 not only finds a friend but also demonstrates some simple addition along the way. This book is enhanced by Paul Rand's pioneering use of abstract shapes and clean, sharp lines.
