All the little Ones
- & a Half
- (the little Ones often forget Half because she is so small) live a peaceful life. They have never seen a big number
- big numbers are scary. One day a big bad Hundred comes along & threatens to take over the little Ones' house. Half has a plan
- all the numbers must stand together & be counted. If they add up to a hundred, they will be as big as the Hundred & they can stand up to him. Five counts up all the numbers by filling in the correct number of squares for each number on a chart with a hundred squares. He nearly forgets to count Half. But Half makes all the difference; with her, the numbers add up to a hundred & a half
- too big for Hundred to fight.
