7 Ate 9 by Tara Lazar

4.0

This book was HILARIOUS! From the cover I had no idea that I was going to enjoy it. It came out in 2017, but it definitely has an older look to it. I've heard the jokes that go "why was six scared of seven? Because seven ate nine." I was really happy to to see that this joke was the basis for the book. The play on words literally made me laugh out loud. I enjoyed the fact that the author decided to include numbers as well as letters. I think that this book does attest to the fact that sometimes we don't feel special and that it can take someone reminding us that there are attributes about us that do make us stand out in ways that are different from everyone else. It was a fantastic book and I definitely recommend this for parents who are looking for fun ways to teach their children numbers as well as books that make readers laugh out loud.
