I thought this was an interactive book that teaches about multiplying by the number 2. It was a cute story and the rhyme scheme kept it interesting. I would definitely use this book in the classroom when teaching the 2 times tables. It was a fun and engaging way to learn and I think kids would enjoy this book. The illustrations were detailed and colorful on each page. ( )

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. (review from Amazon)
