About This Book
Allan Ahlberg and Bruce Ingman deliver a wonderfully whimsical and humorous picture book about Alison Hubble, a girl who experiences a peculiar phenomenon: she wakes up to find a twin, and then another, and another, as she keeps doubling. This rhyming story playfully introduces the concept of multiplication and exponential growth in a way that's accessible and entertaining for young children aged 3-7. It's a delightful read-aloud that sparks imagination and offers a lighthearted look at the idea of having many "siblings" or friends.
This is the story of Alison Hubble Who went to bed single . . . And woke up double! A tale of MATHEMATICAL MAYHEM from magnificent illustrator Bruce Ingman and master storyteller Allan Ahlberg! Alison Hubble is shocked when she wakes up to find a twin in the bed next to her. And she keeps doubling . . . and doubling . . . and doubling! A fantastically funny and completely clever new picture book from the critically-acclaimed pair behind The Pencil and The Runaway Dinner.
