That alphabetic investigator, Private I, receives a visit from a distraught numeral 6 in this punny picture-book mystery. The rumor is that "7 ate 9," and 6 worries that he's next. Private I immediately sets out to investigate, soon discovering that all is not what it seems in the world of
I found 7 Ate 9: The Untold Story to be an absolute hoot, enjoying all of author Tara Lazar's many clever puns, and finding illustrator Ross MacDonald's accompanying artwork well-suited to the humor of the tale. Apparently there is a subsequent adventure involving Private I, due out in October of this year (2019). I look forward to reading The Upper Case: Trouble in Capital City, when it becomes available, and recommend this one to all pun-lovers, and to picture-book readers and listeners who enjoy a good mystery.
