Een grappig boek waarin het getal nul 'geen getal' is. In het boek wordt er steeds geteld en worden er overdreven voorbeelden gebruikt daarvoor. Ik heb dit boek gebruikt in mijn les om voor te lezen en het tellen te stimuleren. Dit boek op zichzelf is al een leuke rekenactiviteit bij de kleuters. Je kan het zelf terug brengen als ze gaat optellen en aftrekken door het boek erbij te pakken en steeds de pagina's om te slaan. ( )

This is a fun counting book with engaging characters leading us through an explanation of why zero is a number and then sharing the numbers 1 through 10. The illustrations are simple but pleasing to the eye and easy to understand for small children. This would be a great read aloud to start a discussion about zero and why it is a number and its importance in math.

Those droll little ovals, the Hueys, return in this third picture-book devoted to their adventures, following upon The Hueys in The New Sweater and The Hueys in It Wasn't Me , this time exploring the idea of zero and the numbers from one to ten. After addressing the question of whether "none" is a number at all, the Hueys count from one to ten, using many humorous examples, from the number of temper tantrums Kevin throws per day (4) to the number of oranges balanced on various objects (7). In the end, the subject returns to the idea of "none..."

Like its predecessors, The Hueys in None the Number pairs an amusing text with appealing artwork. Unlike its predecessors, there isn't really so much of a story here, but the book works very well as an exploration of the concept of zero, and the fun of counting. I find these roly-poly characters quite amusing, and appreciated the full-circle structure, in which the nature of none is raised (yet again, to the impatience of one of the Hueys) at the close of the book. Attentive readers should look for the little informational note on the idea of none that appears on the inside of the rear book-cover. Recommended to anyone who read and enjoyed the first two books about the Hueys, as well as to anyone looking for picture-books about the numbers, and about the concept of zero. ( )

This informational book helps us learn whether or not "none" or zero is a number. The book goes through and essentially counts all the way up to ten and then explains who "none", or zero, is also considered a number. ( )

Count one to ten with the Hueys! Count up five hats, nine seagulls, and more. Then take them all away to find out whether none is a number!
