7 Ate 9 (Volume 1) (Private I, 1)

Great hardback books for young minds.

This was a birthday gift for the little one I nanny. He adores this. We have read it 7 times in the last two days.

I really enjoyed all the math puns in this children's mystery book. It is currently my 2-year-old grandson's favorite book, and he goes through the house quoting lines from the story. It's a good thing that it is cute, since my daughter and son-in-law have been asked to read it to him about 20 times per day! The author has some other punny books which I plan to buy, too. I recommend for any kids (or parents) who like math or puns. (I found that I could listen to people read books, including this one, on Youtube. I found this very helpful in knowing which ones were what I was looking for and appropriate for my grandon's developmental level.)

I bought this book for my six-year-old grandson and it's hard to tell who loves it more! The story is written in a series of puns, and while I had to explain some of them, or point out things in the picture which blend into the joke, it made my grandson think and find humor - he absolutely loved it, and I loved reading it to him. Tara Lazar and Ross MacDonald have a great sense of humor, and makes their readers of all ages laugh. Loved it.

I just love Tar Lazar's humorous view of the world! Her fabulous sense of humor is evident in all her books. She is a wonderful author and knows exactly how to relate to kids. A laugh out loud book with all the puns and math humor. I couldn't stop giggling. It most definitely brings out the kid in you. A must for every bookshelf and library collection. This book should be in every dentist and doctor's office so kids can chuckle and forget about their visit. Love it!!

I will be giving this as a gift. It was recommended to me by a friend

This author is witty without being overly pompous and over-the-top. A perfect coming-of-age book for young readers who are just starting to get puns, double entendres, sarcasm, etc. Enjoyable for adults too. I read it to a five-year-old, where I know most jokes went over his head, but he still could grasp enough of the storyline to enjoy the ending. Worth buying for all ages.

I loved this book! I bought it for the elementary library I work at. The librarian read it to the students on library day. The older students thought it was funny and understood the humor, but the younger ones, Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st grade, didn't understand it as well.I thought it was humorous and very well written.

funny as expected.
