Illustrated by
John Manders.
The concept of doubling goes down easy in this combination of multiplication facts, rhyme, humor--and diner food. One by one, the McFay brothers abandon their farm chores and head for the diner; each orders what the previous brother did, but "make it a double." The appropriately exaggerated illustrations double the fun as they play with numbers and size.
