Miranda Harcourt & Stuart McKenzie Illustrated by Paul Densem. Miranda’s Numbers is a companion volume to the best-selling Miranda's Alphabet. It is a fun and successful way of introducing your pre-school child to numbers. The shape of each number forms a picture which helps children visualize the number. For example, 2 is the shape of a duck and 8 looks like a double scoop ice-cream. The beautiful illustrations blend with photos of friends and family in a story about a numbers party. Miranda’s Numbers is highly recommended by Paul Callaghan, Director of the MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology: "When we use numbers we unconsciously visualize patterns in our minds, each one unique to our individual experience. This is a book that will bring numbers and numerals to life, giving meaning to their shape and shape to their meaning. What a wonderful way for a child to be introduced to counting and arithmetic. I warmly recommend this book to any parent or teacher who wishes to gift a child the confidence that comes with numeracy."
