Contrary to my
book review partner, I did not think
Zero the Hero was cheesy. I thought it was cute. Narration, speech bubbles, cartoonish illustrations, and comic relief will keep a reader going.
No one thinks Zero has value, but him. When he is added or subtracted, for example, his presence doesn’t seem to matter. He does finally make a difference in multiplication; however, this frightens and outrages the other numbers. But when they need him most, they realize his true purpose.
