Publisher's Synopsis
A father (Tom) hears his son Richard say, "school is ok except I don't like learning numbers or arithmetic." After dinner Tom sits with Richard and tells him a story of a kingdom long ago where the use of numbers is forbidden by King Kcaj and of the chaos that ensues because of it. As Tom's story unfolds he hopes to instill in Richard a sense of the importance of learning numbers, counting and arithmetic along with other life lessons.
