What's This Book About
Meet the numbers — they’re usually pretty orderly, but today? The numbers are running, hiding, and seem a little scared! When One bolts off the page and Six is nowhere to be found, our narrator has some questions. Why is everyone so scared of Seven? And did Seven really eat Nine?! With a perfectly timed punchline and a wonderfully absurd twist, 7 Ate 9 turns the oldest math joke around into a laugh-out-loud picture book romp. Bright, expressive illustrations capture the full panic of a number meltdown — until one patient voice sets the record straight. A riotous read-aloud for joke-lovers young and old, this is one counting book where you might want to keep an eye on Seven.
