Overview: Have you ever thought that the number one can mean more than one? This book explores that thought by showing that some things we say are one really have more items in them, like ONE baseball team has NINE players or ONE forest has LOTS of trees. It gives a number of different examples of how ONE can be MORE.

Mommy Bookworm's Thoughts: This book has very vibrant illustrations, which would appeal to various ages of children. There is a conflict of reading level and/or appropriate ages for the book. Personally, I think that 2- to 3-year-old children would enjoy the book because of the illustrations, but think that the reading level is more for ages 4+. I think the book is interesting in that it tries to teach how when we say ONE it may sometimes have more parts to it. However, I also feel it is a little confusing especially if you're trying to teach it to a little child.

Dahlia Bookworm's Thoughts: I did not like the book because it was not very interesting since it had facts that I already knew. I can easily read it. I would recommend it to younger kids though.

Daisy Bookworm's Thoughts: I could easily read it by myself and only needed help with two or three words. I like the pictures and colors. I thought it was a little boring though. I think it tries to teach kids that the number one can be more than one too.

From the publisher's press release:

"Everyone knows that one is one. But can ONE be more than one? Absolutely! ONE PAIR is always two; ONE WEEK is seven days; and ONE DOZEN is always twelve. And that's just the beginning of this brilliant and original counting book."

This is a perfect book for children to show that the number one can have a greater meaning than just one. It's a great math concept book!! My class of preschoolers loved it.

My 18 month old just loves this book. Perhaps it is because we started reading this book and learning how to holding up "one" finger at the same time.
