The bold, creative illustrations by Ross MacDonald (a Canadian now living in the US) are perfectly suited to the story and visually add to the puns. She’d heard that 7 ate 9, and she drops a scoop of ice-cream onto Private I’s pie that’s shaped like the number π – which is the mathematical pi.Īs you can easily figure out from what little I have said – not wanting to give away the whole story – there are many puns and word plays in this funny picture book 7 Ate 9: The Untold Story. (No, I didn’t mean to type pie.) The waitress, whose name is B, has the scoop. ![]() Private I goes to the café for a slice of pi. That fact doesn’t console 6 and he fears his days are numbered as both 7 and 9 seem to be missing! Private I pointed out that 7 is always after him – as in 5, 6, 7. He has heard that 7 Ate 9, and he is scared 7 would soon be after him. Private I is asked by the number 6 to help him. And how can it not be, having been written by Tara Lazar? 7 Ate 9: The Untold Story is a very entertaining story. ![]()
