When X and Y, two Adventurers from the Land of Letters, crash-land in the Kingdom of Wontoo, they quickly learn that it is populated by two sorts of Number: the Odds, an eccentric bunch, and the Evens, orderly and predictable. A pun-filled text and high-energy pictures are bound to produce a number of chuckles. |
