But the facts just do not add up. It is odd. Will Private I put two and two together and solve the problem . . . or is 6 next in line to be subtracted?

Daughters’ Reaction

My five-year-old daughter wanted me to read this book to her many, many times.. and I gladly obliged. We would laugh and catch something new each time. Each page is beautifully illustrated and solving the mystery is in the details! She loved looking around on each page to see if she could figure out what happened to 9.
