Counting Zero Zebras
b"Children\\u2019s book author (Great Estimations, The Beastly Feast) Bruce Goldstone discusses his new book Zero Zebras: A Counting Book About What\\u2019s Not There, an adorable way of introducing the idea of nothing (and everything!) to a young audience...and maybe even you. Bruce explains how zero\\u2019s possibly the most powerful number, and shares inspirational childhood delight from Hughes Mearns\\u2019 \\u201cI met a man who wasn\\u2019t there;\\u201d how divisions and categorization are our enemy; a previous collaboration with the world\\u2019s most famous (and surprisingly talkative) mime; his fondness for the absurd; the theatrical nature of children\\u2019s picture books; mixing classics with vaudeville; how he's introducing children to the concept of seeing and imagining things that aren\\u2019t there; and how \\u2013 as in jazz \\u2013 it\\u2019s all about the zebras you don\\u2019t count.
