Not So Terrific Times Table Book
As a teacher with many years of experience,I was very disappointed to find this book,fussy,over illustrated and far too involved for the age of the childre to which it is directed.My own young grandchildren looked at it for a few moments,put it down and never showed anymore interestin opening it again.

Great educational tool
This book is a fantastic introduction for children. Although intended for children over 7, my son has had the book since he was 5, and has thoroughly enjoyed the introduction to times tables. Children do not appear to see the book as educational as it is good fun. There is lots to explore within the book and with various pop up's, lift the flap's and slider's, children are keen to go back to the book again and again, and never find it boring or 'old hat'.

Great for helping children learn their tables.
I really love this book which is one of a whole series of educational books. I am a teacher and have used it in school with 7 - 9 year olds. Children absolutely love it and the pop-ups and sliders are fairly sturdy. Knowing your times tables is vital so if you're wanting to give your child a head start, buy this book.
