About This Book
Rhyming tale of five boys and their father who forget about their chores on the farm to enjoy Minnie's good cooking, each requesting double what the previous one ordered.
Wonderlit Review
Minnie's Diner is a charming rhyming picture book that cleverly introduces the concept of multiplication. A father and his five sons visit Minnie's Diner, and each boy orders double what the previous one did, leading to increasingly humorous and delicious quantities of food. The repetitive structure and engaging rhymes make it an excellent read-aloud for young children, while older elementary students can grasp the mathematical concept of doubling. It's a fun, lighthearted way to explore early math skills within a relatable family story.
