My son, who hates school, actually enjoyed learning his times tables! We read a section each night for a couple of weeks. He painlessly learned multiplication. He even passed his "timed" times table quiz. He usually struggles with memorizing. This book was an awesome learning tool!

We've really enjoyed using this book to learn multiplication. The visuals help my daughter to recall the facts quickly.

The book does not contain all the multiplication facts. It just shows the numbers the writers were able to have fun with.

Children love these stories and it really does help them to remember their multiplication facts. I have used it in the classroom and in tutoring.

I've now done this book with 3 kids (a boy and 2 girls), and it's so easy and, yes, FUN. One girl was here visiting and picked it up because of the colorful cover and asked me to go through the book with her. She's a 5th-grade ESL student struggling in math. She was blown away at how easy this was and surprised herself at how well it helped her remember her facts. Even my 5yodd (who is also attracted to the colorful pictures and stories) remembers some of the facts.
All the pages are sturdy un-bendable, water-resistant extremely heavy cardstock. It comes as a spiral-bound book so that you can bend it back and show the big picture (trigger) on one page while you read the (short) story to them from the facing page. Each section has a little memory review and there is a pre/post test at the end to measure your progress. Also, as I stated before, the book is very colorful and fun to look at, so kids can't help picking it up and flipping through it. The student book is really the only thing you need (there are other bells and whistles, but they're not neccessary) and well worth the price. Kids can read through this on their own and at their own pace. Whether they're learning all the facts from the beginning or brushing up on just a few that they just cannot seem to remember, this book can do it. A table of contents at the beginning tell them exactly what page to turn to to learn which fact.
It is SSOOOO important that kids learn their facts cold before going into higher maths. Standardized tests are timed and they cannot get bogged down and side-tracked with what the answer to 7x8 is.
I wish something like this was available when I was a kid.
BTW, for more really great (easy) trigger memory systems (not by this author) check out "Yo, Sacramento! (And All Those Other State Capitals You Don't Know): Memorize Them All (Forever) in 20 Minutes Without Trying" and "Yo, Millard Fillmore! (And All Those Other Presidents You Don't Know)" by Will Cleveland and Mark Alvarez. My 10yo learned all the States/Capitals and all Presidents/# effortlessly and in only 40min (total) per book.
