An engaging look at the component numbers in just about everything. Hood uses simple rhymed couplets pitched to offer examples of single units composed of one to 10 separate parts. . . . Yan's bright, full-page illustrations in cartoon-animation style star a small, dark-haired, pale-skinned child with a diverse supporting cast of child and animal characters and give energy to every spread. . . . Though some of the references are likely to be new to the audience, the illustrations provide sufficient context to carry the meaning if not all the nuances. . . . Immensely satisfying for young lovers of numbers and fascinating for everyone. -Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Combining rhyming lines with context beneath, this counting picture book offers a summation of things that exist in the world. -Publishers Weekly

The colorful, gentle illustrations are perfectly suited to the text, and the book feels very much like a bedtime read that can grow with a curious child. -School Library Journal A poetic ode to numeracy, this unique mathematical concept book walks the reader through numbers one through ten and explains how those are significant to a variety of topics. . . . This book would make a lovely addition to any elementary math collection. -School Library Connection That Hood and Yan go from a detailed look at how our world 'adds up' to such a big-picture concept (we're all made of atoms and are all in this together) is splendid. -Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast
