The bumble bees also are represented by very few shapes and detail. Another example is when 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 were going up the tree and it says “70’s hair is long and sandy.” The picture of 70 climbing the chair actually does have long lines symbolizing the hair. “‘Wow, these apples taste like heaven!’” Was the text when 9, 10, and 11 were going up the tree, so the illustrators changed the plain circles that represented apples and made one have bites taken out of it. The illustrators definitely matched the text to make the story even more interesting when they would change the shapes of the objects and characters to dive deeper into what the text said. The pictures are mostly objects of shapes and lines using the elements of art. ![]() The internal illustrations are actually very interesting. All the numbers come back up and are grateful for number 0. Number 10 never came down, so 0 takes initiative and goes up the tree, not afraid of the bee’s, and finds his place as number 100. When the bees come and make the other numbers come down, 0 has a place to hide. The book is about numbers going up the apple tree, but the number 0 feels left out the whole time they’re going up. I also notice that they had empathy for Zero and asked: “Why the other numbers were being mean to him?" I use a different voice for Zero and they just love it. My children love when I read this book to them. This is also an excellent way to teach math to children with SLD. ![]() Parents and teachers can discuss why Zero felt lonely and how brave he had to be to leap into the tree and find his place. This book is great for children that feel they don’t have a place or a voice in the classroom or their lives. I would recommend Chicka Chicka 1.2.3 to teachers and parents of children who have low-self-esteem and experience loneliness. ![]() He leaped into the tree and landed on top of the tree, joining 10. All the numbers came running down accept the number 10 who was waiting for Zero to take his place next to him. Then the bumbles came and shouted for all the numbers 1-99 to get out their tree. Once all the numbers 1-99 were up the tree Zero begins to cry feeling that he has no place in the tree. As he asked the other numbers “Will there be a place for me?” no one responds to him. He sits on the side of the tree and watches the other numbers 1-99 go up the tree. Zero is a little number who tries to find his place with the other numbers.
