When she looks at herself, she just sees a hole right in her center. Every day she watches the other numbers line up to count: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 . . . !" "Those numbers have value. That's why they count," she thinks. But how could a number worth nothing become something? Zero feels empty inside. She watches One having fun with the other numbers. One has bold strokes and squared corners. Zero is big and round with no corners at all. "If I were like One, then I can count too," she thinks. So she pushes and pulls, stretches and straightens, forces and flattens herself, but in the end she realizes that she can only be Zero. As budding young readers learn about numbers and counting, they are also introduced to accepting different body types, developing social skills and character, and learning what it means to find value in yourself and in others. Review: First "One", now "Zero". Modern Classics - Fantastic book. Such a simple story. And so illustrative! My now 3 year old absolutely loves it. He is a big fan of the first book "One". Zero is the second book. The story and illustrations are simple enough that little kids follow it, relate to it and actually enjoy it. I myself find it interesting to read along with our son. The book also carries emotional lessons on sharing, forgiveness, compassion, to name a few (if you want to go deep analysis on a childrens book.) The outer cover jacket is thin and prone to scratches. And its black so it amplifies scratches. I recommend taking the dust jacket off as soon as it arrives in the mail and store it away. The book by itself is a hardcover and can take a decent amount of smashing, banging, tugging etc. This way you get to enjoy your book longer. We have both the first book, "One" and now this one "Zero". My review of "One" is here: http://www.desertcart.com/review/R392S94JFQHI2 Recommend getting both books. Your kids will absolutely relate to both. Review: If there was a "Grandma's Choice Award" it would certainly be a winner - When Zero looked at herself in the mirror she saw a hole right in her middle. How can a number worth absolutely nothing become worth something? Zero sets out to find worth in herself. She felt empty inside. Zero is a wonderful number book that looks at not only the concept of counting, it tackles the social issue of self acceptance and diversity. I liked how Otoshi used feeling words that most children of three or four year old would not know and gives opportunity to extend their vocabulary. I also found it was fun to stay with the fast paced story to see how the number Zero was going to count. If there was a "Grandma's Choice Award" it would certainly be a winner. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #54,110 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #154 in Children's Counting Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 456 Reviews | ## Images ![Zero - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xdPc2n0vL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First "One", now "Zero".

My child loves the idea of numbers and math so they were interested in this book right away. The book provides a good analogy of how sometimes people try to fit in to be something they are not (as the number zero in the book tries to turn into the number 8 or another number in order to be worth something) and it doesn't feel right. Eventually, zero sees their self worth through a new perspective as the power to keep counting beyond 9 making something you thought was worth nothing into a powerful number after all. My child likes this idea very much. I use it as a way to talk about their differences and how some of those differences may not feel like they're worth something right now but they will with perspective and could make something greater than they ever thought. ## Frequently Bought Together - Zero - Two --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/3501743-zero](https://www.desertcart.at/products/3501743-zero) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
