Originally published in 1961, this exuberant picture book was illustrated and designed by Paul Rand, one of the most influential graphic designers of the twentieth century. The text by Ann Rand is filled with clever wordplay and not only tells the engaging story of Little 1 and his quest for a friend, but makes learning numbers and simple addition positively fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE-derful!

Love this book! It's ONE-derful! The children in our house place this volume at the top of their request list. Numbers, simple addition, and friendship all rolled into ONE. The text and graphics are simple yet entertaining to the younger set -- the target audience. Beginning readers may also enjoy tackling this ONE. I recommend this book -- will buy it again to give as gifts -- encourage friends to get a copy. It is truly ONE of a kind!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book by a master

I have given this book several times, most recently to my 2-year old niece. She really seems to like it! The story is lovely, but the drawings and design are what make the book so touching and beautiful. Paul Rand always seemed to be able to see beyond the letters on the page, beyond the company name or slogan, and here he does the same, making the "one" and the "zero" not only typographical but narrative characters. It's just so clever and cute!

My wife is an Art Director by trade. She was thrilled to find this book, as Paul Rand is one of her all time favorite designers. While we have original prints, we got this for our Niece and Nephews to bring a little fine, classic design into their lives. Gotta start 'em young!

Absolutely loved this book - Gave it as a Christmas present to my 3 year old grandson. The story is absolutely perfect - an easy read but also has a deeper meaning. The best is the graphic design. This is definitely one of my favorites and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

Love this book - cute little story and very cool typography and design. It sits on a display shelf in my daughter's room when we're not reading it.
