![]() ![]() This is a really cool book that little readers can enjoy and benefit from for years, and we liked it a lot. The illustrations are simple yet striking, and give the numbers, which are anthropomorphized in the vein of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, a lot of unique personality. This makes it a rare book that can really grow with a child, from simply learning to count as a baby, on to learning to count on themselves as they become older. Zero’s journey feels like one that so many of us have taken in finding our own unique talents and what we bring to the table. Every day she watches the other numbers line up to count: '1, 2, 3, 4, 5. When she looks at herself, she just sees a hole right in her center. But beyond the numbers is a sweet story about body types, fitting in, and finding self-worth. 659 views 10 months ago Zero is a big round number.

That alone earned him a lifetime of devotion if not my affection. He’d protected me when the circumstances prevented Venomous reaching me.

At the same time, the incongruousness of the glaringly non-Gallic Shelly Winters, Jo Van Fleet, and Melvyn Douglas only seem to add another layer of wacko to The Tenant’s existing Theater of the Absurd vision of Paris.įrench cinema icon Claude Daupin makes a brief appearance (with Louba Guertchikoff)īut his mellifluous accent is dubbed over with an affectless American voice The clashing of Trelkovsky’s faint Polish accent against all those flat Yankee diphthongs dramatically emphasizes his "otherness.".
