    Zero the Hero: cover

    Zero the Hero

    Written by Joan Holub

    Illustrated by Tom Lichtenheld

    Ages: 6-10 | 40 Pages

    Publisher: Henry Holt / Macmillan | ISBN-13: 978-0805093841

    What to Expect: Math and Numbers

    Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. That’s what all the other numbers think of Zero. He doesn’t add anything in addition. He’s of no use in division. And don’t even ask what he does in multiplication. (Hint: Poof!) But Zero knows he’s worth a lot, and when the other numbers get into trouble, he swoops in to prove that his talents are innumerable.
