Four is a little, Four is a LOT

"Mama... Is four a little, or a lot?"

That simple question from her not quite four-year-old son, Jacob, inspired Cheska Komissar to write Four is a little, Four is a LOT.

It features four boys and four girls who each experience the number four as both a little and a lot, delighting young readers while teaching number sense and age-appropriate vocabulary. Adopting the theme as a "four-losophy," the book was illustrated by four artists (Melissa Koch, Jesse Mangerson, Say Oh, and Garrett Taylor) who each created their own scenes and characters. And the publisher "pays it four-ward" by donating four percent of book profits to each of four charities (16% total)!
