Numeralia is not just another counting book. It is a book that presents children with the opportunity to go beyond simply learning to count from zero to ten and encourages them to create their own meanings and make their own connections between the text and the art.
The poetic and sometimes surreal text along with the illustrations by Isol, winner of the 2012 Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, depicts a world at once familiar and strange, a place where the three musketeers can suddenly become six, and the ugly duckling is not so ugly after all.
