Twirling and whirling, zigging and zagging, numerals dance across
the pages, enticing children to play with numbers and develop a
better understanding of numeric values in this fun and informative
comic approach. Three groups of numerals make mightily concerted
attempts to maintain the quirks of their distinct personalities in
the face of persistent peer pressure. The irascible 1, 2, 3, and 4,
though frail and wiry, would like to impose their ballroom dance
style on the robust 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. 5 and 6 cannot help
reverting to raucous jazz dancing, no matter how hard they
sportingly try to conform, and 7-10 don't see the point of being
anything but what they truly are--western line dancers. Scuffles,
rumbles, roundups, and coercions ensue until 1-4 have their way and
5-10 "go back to dancing like they want to, again!" The book's
rousing, impeccably metered rhymes provide the cadence of each
dance style, and the spare accompanying art lends a clean energy to
the numerals' challenge to accept each other as they are.
Josephine tries to tell her new American class about her life in Naples, Italy, but her teacher misunderstands what she is saying and thinks she grew up on a farm.
