My Review

This book is very clever and really made me snort in places! Children will need to be 6+ to understand all the puns and language play involved, and so it's not a book that's useful for teaching counting, but nevertheless it's a great way to inject a bit of silliness into a Maths lesson! Even better if you are a dab hand at a New York accent!

Heads Up!

This is book one of a three part series.

Publisher Review

6 has a problem. Everyone knows that 7 is always after him. Word on the street is that 7 ate 9. If that's true, 6's days are numbered. Lucky for him, Private I is on the case. But the facts just don't add up. It's odd. Will Private I put two and two together and solve the problem . . . or is 6 next in line to be subtracted?
