Minnie's Diner: A Multiplying Menu

By Dayle Ann Dodds

Book Overview

"The concept of doubling goes down easy in this combination of multiplication facts, rhyme, humor -- and diner food." -- The Horn Book

Down on the farm one morning, Papa McFay orders his sons to hop to their chores. But from Minnie's kitchen wafts a smell that gets the boys itchin', and one by one, they succumb to the call of that sweet aroma. Each brother arrives at Minnie's twice as hungry as his brother before -- and looking for twice as much grub. Will they be in double trouble when Papa McFay tracks them down? With singsong rhythms and comical illustrations spiced with flavor, Dayle Ann Dodds and John Manders serve up a humorous lesson in multiplication.

Great Book! Used for math class.

This is a terrific book! The 3rd grade math teacher at our private school uses this book in her class. Well worth the money.

Ca-Ching! This books checks out!

We loved this one! Not only was it great at teaching how things double, but the strokes of humor, both in the text and illustration made this one a read-over-and-over favorite! Can't go wrong with Minnie's Diner!

Great Book!

My grandsons love this book. They ask me to read over and over. I recomend to anyone with small children.
