I could see older kids enjoying this book quite a bit too. We were all laughing as we read the book. I was surprised that my kindergartner actually understood the double meanings in the story (there’s more than ate/eight). What an absolutely fun read!! My 3.5 year enjoys the numbers, the story and the great illustrations. I thought it would be a book my husband (an engineer with a quirky sense of humor) would enjoy reading to our kids (6 and 3.5). I picked up this book based on the title alone. I especially liked how the author included comprehension questions at the end of the book (a true teacher at heart). It was funny and entertaining and my nephew and I did laugh out loud. The author, with a very unique view on the world of numbers, took something as simple as counting and made it into a hilarious tale. The smile only got bigger as I turned every page. From the very first page I was smiling as One began to count (“Me, Two, Three…”). When my nephew brought me this book and told me I would laugh, I was skeptical (after all, 4 year old humor and adult humor usually do not equate), but I began to read. NOW AVAILABLE as an interactive app/game for tablets/phones from TINY TAP (requires Tiny Tap app) Read by the author! REVIEWS He was doing a real number on everyone! Will she be the last One left? But things took a turn for the worse when Seven ate Nine. She still couldn’t count to Nine, and the other numbers wouldn’t even let her try.
