{My Thoughts} – Zero the Hero is a Hero in every sense of the word. He is the number Zero and he is needed to solve math equations that wouldn’t be able to be solved without him. Zero the Hero goes through the book feeling like he is a nothing a no number because in a sense he is – his number is Zero which means nothing. But eventually the other numbers start to realize how much they need him and him how much he needs them and he becomes a Hero by the end of the book.

I really believe my seven year-old son will enjoy this book. He is always interested in reading books that he can read out loud. A lot of the time I ask him to read quietly to himself. This book has eye catching illustrations that go hand and hand with the story written between it’s pages.

I am truly in love with the writing style of Miss Holub, she has such a knack for words. Her children’s books are so nicely written and illustrated. I really recommend her books for parents looking for books for their children. She also has Middle Grade Series that I have been reviewing as well, look into them, they are some of the best books I have read and I am sure you and you children will enjoy them as much as my children and I are.

This is a charming novel about Zero who believes himself to be a hero. The other number do not think Zero is important when it comes to adding or subtracting, however they become scared of Zero when they make the discovery that any number multiplied by Zero is Zero. They then see Zero as a villain and so does Zero. Zero spends some time alone while the other numbers reflect on Zero and realize without him, they can't make the number 10. Roman Numerals come to attack the other numbers while Zero is away. Zero hears their cries for help and saves them, just like a true hero. Everyone cheers Zero on and is glad to be his friend. This is a great book that will help students learn about math, friendship, and the importance of being yourself. This is great for primary readers.

This book is perfect for teaching students about the importance of zero, but it also teaches an invaluable lesson about bullying. In this story, 0 is often left out because it holds no value like the other numbers. Zero then leaves due to the bullying but returns to save the day when Roman Numerals attack. This book addresses zero's role in addition, multiplication, and place holder. ( )

Zero is seen as nothing to the other numbers but as the book goes on, they realize they all would be lost without zero. The author does a great job of presenting math concepts in a fun and interactive way for students. He characterizes all of the numbers and helps the reader understand what zero is, what it does, and why it is important in math, A very fun and useful book for math lessons. ( )

This book is a well-illustrated book about the number zero, what it is, how it can be used, and why it's important. I rate this book 4 stars because it is fun, colorful, and not just an average book that explains a concept. The author makes the characters, which are numbers, engage in conversation that helps the reader gain an insight on why we use zero. I think this book can be a good, informative read for students that may struggle with place value. ( )
