I Know Numbers!

Description

The power of numbers is infinite. Numbers are everywhere! Numbers show the time and the date, measure distance, and let us know if clothes will fit. They reside on street signs and on bus stops, on thermometers and on phones. What would we do without them? This spirited picture book by the inimitable Taro Gomi enumerates the many ways that numbers apply, offering the youngest of readers a unique - and useful - look at a key concept we count on.

Taro Gomi is a well-known author and illustrator who has created more than 350 books for readers of all ages, including Bus Stops, My Friends, Spring Is Here, and Presents Through the Window. He lives in Tokyo, Japan.
