* Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year Selection
* Publishers Weekly Bestselle
옛날 옛적에 오로지 숫자로만 이뤄진 세상이 있었습니다. 사람이름과 사물이름과 거리이름과 이 세상의 모든 것들이 숫자로만 불리웠으며, 사회오 국가가 완벽한 규칙에 의해 한 치의 빈틈도 없이 질서 정연하게 굴러갔습니다.
문자는 없이 숫자들만 있다보니, 사람들은 책도 필요 없었고 아름다움이나 색감을 표현할 방법도 없었지요.
그런데 이런 완벽해 보이는 세상에서 5명의 친구들이 의문을 갖기 시작합니다. 숫자 말고 다른 것은 없을까? 숫자보다 더 많은 것을 할 수는 없을까? 이들이 원하는 것은 더 많은 숫자, 더 좋은 숫자가 아니라 숫자가 아닌 다른 것이었지요. 그래서 5명의 친구들은 알파벳 문자들을 만들기 시작합니다.
A, B, C, D, E, F, G...
이들이 만든 26자의 알파벳이 숫자로만 이뤄진 세상에 모습을 드러내자, 놀라운 변화가 일어나기 시작합니다. 알파벳이 모여서 단어들이 만들어지고, 모든 사람들과 사물들은 자신의 이름을 갖게 되고, 행복과 같은 감정을 표현하는 방법들이 생겨나고... 흑백의 암울했던 세상은 갑자기 화려한 색상이 넘쳐나는 컬러풀한 세상으로 변합니다...
튼튼한 하드커버책입니다.

Book Description
From the team who brought you The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore comes an alphabet tale extraordinaire!
Once upon a time there was no alphabet, only numbers…
Life was…fine. Orderly. Dull as gray paint. Very…numberly. But our five jaunty heroes weren’t willing to accept that this was all there could be. They knew there had to be more.
So they broke out hard hats and welders, hammers and glue guns, and they started knocking some numbers together. Removing a piece here. Adding a piece there. At first, it was awful. But the five kept at it, and soon it was…artful! One letter after another emerged, until there were twenty-six. Twenty-six letters—and they were beautiful. All colorful, shiny, and new. Exactly what our heroes didn’t even know they were missing.
And when the letters entered the world, something truly wondrous began to happen…Pizza! Jelly beans! Color! Books!
Based on the award-winning app, this is William Joyce and Moonbot’s Metropolis-inspired homage to everyone who knows there is more to life than shades of black and gray.
School Library Journal
In this large, mostly vertical picture book, the numberlys are tiny folks living in a black-and-white futuristic metropolis. Its buildings appear especially tall as the pages here often rotate the layout-readers must move the book a quarter turn so that the left-hand side tops a view spilling down the double page. The spare text and many wordless pages tell of a time when there were only numbers and no alphabet: "Everyone liked numbers. They had nice shapes and kept things in order. And everything added up…So life was sort of…numberly." Long, tidy rows of the little inhabitants, whose head antennae gives them an extraterrestrial appearance, include five friends who are unhappy with the sameness. This is a world where "there weren't any books or colors or jellybeans or pizza." But the friends want MORE, and in wordless spreads, they get to work, marching down long stairs among giant cogs and gears. As they struggle with the machinery lines, ad shapes tumble out. "At first it was awful. Then…artful…" As the falling bits shape into letters of the alphabet, they also take on color, and soon the world has pizza, jellybeans, and names for people. The varied layouts can be a bit confusing and the tone rather static, but there are comic moments and a provocative premise about the value of letters and words. The jacket flap invites readers "to "see this book come to life through the augmented reality app." Readers/viewers able to manipulate those machines on screen and help those little people crank out letters are likely to enjoy the lesson of recognizing and naming them. The numbers vs. alphabet concept seems sophisticated for young picture book readers, but teachers and librarians might find useful opportunities for discussion or by pairing this with other alphabet books.
Booklist
In a kiddie homage to Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, Joyce (The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore, 2012) has created an industrial city where, since only numbers exist, there are no words for colors or feelings or food. The inhabitants of the shadowy, sepia-toned city, the big-eyed Numberlys, march back and forth among retrofuturistic buildings in perfect unison until five fed up Numberlys set out to make something different. They put their welding goggles on, and with cranes, gigantic gears, and pulsing electricity, the five oddball friends build every letter of the alphabet. When they get to Z, their world is suddenly filled with color, and they can finally invent things like jelly beans, names, and pizza. Though there isn’t much of a story-it amounts to little more than a brief alphabet book nestled in a vastly realized, imaginative atmosphere-letter-learning kiddos (and their design-loving parents) will pore over the detailed spreads. Initially a popular app (much like The Fantastic Flying Books), this has the feel of an animated film, and that alone is a big appeal. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Joyce has a built-in audience after the runaway multiplatform success of The Fantastic Flying Books, and this similar production should have them lining up.
