5/24/2023 0 Comments Zero by kathryn otoshi![]() ![]() My favorite page was a 2 page spread on blue’s activities, as they were very peaceful to view and contemplate. The art is made up of colored numbers and circles and similar shapes, but it’s fun and colorful and attractive. So, this can be used as a very beginning counting book, as a discussion starter about bullying or about getting along and collaborating with one another, and definitely about standing up for oneself and others, and though it works as an art book only for children still learning their colors, the colors are fun. I found myself smiling at almost every page. The overt messages of “everyone counts” and “sometimes it just takes one” to stop bullying actually make this book a lot of fun. ![]() Each color becomes a number.īut, there is a story, of red who bullies blue and the other colors too, and how it takes a number, One, to get the bullying to stop and to help all the colors get along together and to count. The number 1 is 1.īut, this is another wonderful counting book, although the numbers go from only 1 to 7. They end up making up numbers 2 through 7. The only colors covered a red, blue, yellow, green orange, purple. but I didn’t have a significant problem with that. The way this tale goes, the colors are stereotypical: red = hot, angry and blue = cool, yellow = sunny, etc. A bit disappointing because I thought there would be some color mixing education: blue + yellow = green, etc. I recently read Zero and realized that this book by the same author had been published first. ![]() 5/24/2023 0 Comments Magyk by Angie Sage![]() ![]() Magyk is the original story of lost and rediscovered identities, rich with humor and heart. ![]() The first book in this enthralling series by Angie Sage leads readers on a fantastic journey filled with quirky characters and Magykal charms, potions, and spells. ![]() She also wrote the Todhunter Moon series, and the Magykal Papers, an additional book with extra information about Septimus' world.
