#THE NUMBERLYS SEASON 1 FULL#

And when they reached the final letter Z, things started to change. Then five friends started to wonder if there was something more than numbers, something different! So they started inventing and they slowly came up with letters. In a world where there are only numbers, everything is very orderly and neat. This is one Joyce title I recommend primarily for the gorgeous artwork, rather than the concept or story. While it may not have been the creator's intent - some have even made the counter-argument that the letters here are made out of the numbers, thus linking them - I do feel that he fell into the trap of thinking of numbers and letters as somehow oppositional. They might also want to consider that letters only go to make up our descriptions of things, and that the things themselves are actually created from chemicals, chemicals whose composition could be described equally well with numbers, as with letters. It might surprise some to know that once upon a time music and mathematics were taught together, and were considered interrelated subjects. All that said, I tend to agree with those online reviewers who have been a little dismayed at the cliched idea, expressed through the story here, that numbers (and by extension, mathematics) is boring, and letters (and by extension, language) is interesting and creative. The artwork, whether sepia-toned, as it is in the beginning, or vibrantly colorful, as it is at the end, is simply gorgeous, while the page orientation, which alternates between vertical and horizontal, is inventive. The Numberlys is a creative story that looks at both numbers and letters, and it is also a gorgeously illustrated book. Their efforts lead to the dawn of the alphabet, whose constituent letters spell so many things - from bright colors like yellow to pleasing foods like pizza - previously missing from the world. In a gray world organised solely by numbers, five Numberly friends decide to rebel and to create something new.

I think he has some amazing work being done at the moment. Both kids were amazed and wanted to read it again. This is a work of art and even though it’s for a young audience, the kids loved this book. It’s such a lovely surprise and visually stunning. You really need to check this out and see for yourself. This is fantastic and amazing and I won’t say anymore about what is in it. Something I haven’t seen is that he has a long book that he pants the book on the side so you have to read the story top to bottom with very long pages so you can really see the scope of the buildings and world these Numberlys are in. A group of 5 friends decide there should be something new.
