Everything starts when number 1 feels lonely and decides to look for the other numbers. He wanders around until he finds number 2, and then one by one all the number show up. Some times is necessary to do some additions to get the next number. When they are finally together, they are happy and have lots of fun. There are so many things we can do with numbers!

Probably around 3.5 stars, but I rounded up.
I have a degree in mathematics and teach algebra, so the idea for this story was immediately appealing to me. I haven't seen many other books like this (though I'm sure there are many with similar themes), but I think it's a great idea to include math in fun stories for children. Math isn't something to fear, but something to have fun with.
This little story follows number one as he goes in search of the rest of the numbers, collecting them on his travels. Which was such a fun idea!
While this was a very fun story I think it could use a little more polishing to make the overall reading experience flow a little better. Overall I found it a fun and clever little story. It's also nice to know that the author had help from her son to create the journey for the numbers.
This is a great book for little kids just learning about numbers. It even has some addition thrown in, so you can use it as a lesson. I think there are more in the series, but it would also be fun to have your own kids come up with further adventures for these curious numbers.

Number # 1 lived in a little house.
He walked by the sea & there was # 2. 1 + 1 = 2.
Follow through the book for more numbers # 1-10.
I do not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing free books from publishers & authors. Therefore, I am under no obligation to write a positive review, only an honest one.
An awesome book cover, great hand-drawn colored pictures, charming illustrations & proper font & writing style. A very professionally written children’s (preschool/elementary age) numbers storybook. It was quite easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters, settings, etc. to keep track of. This could also make another great children’s educational presentation (numbers), movie, an animated cartoon, or better yet a mini-TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is an extremely easy rating of 5 stars.

The author creates a story line revolving around the number one, who is lonely because he doesn't have playmates. So he goes off in search of the number two. As the story progresses the chain of number friends increases as the previous numbers search for the next number in the series. After number one has found numbers two through nine, they all search for zero
Children are introduced to different ways of adding numbers together as the story evolves. Parents will need to be involved in explaining this part of the story. Shaltiel varies the setting and the seasons. Readers visit the beach, desert, the sea, and the city, to mention a few. In my opinion, the random choice of stock images and the variation in the size of the text is a minor weakness. Overall, the colors are vibrant and the number characters appealing.
Parents and teachers who are interested in introducing preschoolers to the concept of numbers and addition will find this book an interesting way to do so. As a bonus, the author offers a free coloring book.

Fun and Clever
Ronit Tal Shaltiel takes us on a fun journey as lonely Number 1 looks for playmates. Each number lives in a different place, so the reader can enjoy a variety of different backgrounds from the woods and ocean to roads and cities. The dialogue is upbeat and positive. The numbers speak with speech balloons, but I was a little confused on a couple of pages which part of the dialogue to read first because of the placement of the balloons.
Shaltiel cleverly works in combinations for addition facts so that all the previous numbers are represented whenever a new number is met along the journey. For example, when 1, 2, 3, and 4 meet Number 5, we learn 2+3=5 and 1+4=5. I would recommend this book to any parent who wants to work on their math facts with their children in a new and fun way.

This is a cute book that teaches children about math and counting. The number 1 is lonely and goes in search of other numbers. Each number is at a different locations and scenarios. The different numbers come together to teach math with the number they just found.
While I found the premise and story cute, I felt like the book could have benefited greatly from a professional illustrator. While the different pages were colorful, they are a mashup of clip art and inserted stock photos. I realize this book is for children, but the painter in me would have liked to have seen consistency with the art or at least something like shadows underneath the things like inserted buses, rabbits, and numbers. The story was solid and I think children would enjoy it, I just wished the art was a little more polished

Where are the Numbers?
The book starts with an offer of a free gift and it also thanks you
for receiving this book and they're looking for a review.
Each page is written format with little clouds where the words are
there are other words as well and it's difficult to enlarge the page
It talks about how they count things but they're also telling you
different things.
I like the colorful pages: it's hard to enlarge the pages so you can
actually read them. I do not like the format of the comic book
things but I do love that they are also adding numbers together
by showing you pictures on the book.

Number 1 is lonely, so he goes off to find someone to play with. At the beach, he finds number 2. They set off traveling through deserts, cities, and the countryside meeting other numbers.
Where are the Numbers? shows kids what numbers look like teaches them how to count to ten, and shows how numbers can be added together to make sums. This is a fun, educational book to share with kids ages 3-7.

Good
It's good book to make the children understand the numbers and addition. Children can also learn that adding different numbers answer can be the same.

Where are the Numbers? The Adventure of the Numbers by Ronit Tal Shaltiel is a fantastic children’s book. This sweet story is about the number 1 who sets out on an adventure to find his fellow numbers. Together they find each other, while encountering other characters such as the bunnies, crabs and a tall building to name a few.
Ronit had me at the front cover. The illustrations are outstanding, full of colour and detail. This simple story allows the young reader not only learn their numbers, but is bang on in regards to beginners reading level. There is a sense of friendship and sharing that flows through the book as they welcome the numbers they meet. I can see children asking their parents to read this book repeatedly. This title ranks high in my books and I recommend this to parents with young children. I can’t want to see what other adventures the author takes us on.

I love that this book encourages kids to learn math and also that it was written as a collaboration between a mother and her son. The bright vibrant colors and illustrations remind me of some of the cartoons my kids watch and I think young children will be attracted to the visuals. Having numbers existing in various natural locations makes them seem like a part of everyday life that we can relate to and not just abstract symbols. I also like how the numbers frequently say "I'm having so much fun," to reinforce that playing with numbers is enjoyable. The book lost some points with me because the way the numbers progress was a bit confusing. I have read through many books like this with my own children when they were smaller to teach them to count and add, and most of them have objects on each page to coordinate with the number symbols so that small children can count them out and realize that the number three for example, represents three actual things. This is done for the numbers five and six with bunnies and crabs but not shown on other pages. The various numbers on the addition pages had me a bit confused as well, and I think grouping objects under the numbers would have added clarity. This is a cute concept in a series that I'm sure will be even stronger as it grows.

Great numbers book
Teaches children how to count in an outside environment with the illustrations and colors. Great educational tool to help children who struggle with math

In this cute little picture book, numbers literally come to life! I thought this was an adorable way to teach little kids about numbers and show them that math can be fun as well as useful.
The story starts off with 1, who goes on a trip to find 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 0. It was interesting how the final number was 0 instead of 10, which could spark an interesting discussion about the difference between numbers and digits. As part of the numbers' adventure, they do simple addition sums, which is a great starting point for parents to introduce their kids to arithmetic. Furthermore, by framing addition as a game, it removes it from the confines of the classroom and promotes a different mindset -- that math doesn't have to be boring.
There is certainly a large parental component to this book. I think the main value is the potential for discussion, rather than the story itself. By this means, Where Are The Numbers? becomes a springboard to more complicated concepts which aren't even addressed in the text.
