The personification of numbers in this story makes it accessible to a wide range of young readers. Youngest observers will sense playful antics, while older readers realize the feelings portrayed to uniquely show harmful effects of favoritism, unkindness, and pride, as well as the mending ways of humility, wise choices, and forgiveness. This is powerful in its simple complexity whose message will unfold as a reader's understanding grows.
