My daughter has struggled with basic math concepts from day one. Multiplication is no exception - we've spent the past two years working on the basic 1-12 times tables. I saw this book and thought it might be a good way to help her look at the concept in a new way. I loved this story and how the concept of multiplication was broken down into addition, which would make it less daunting for young children just learning the concept. I also love that it encourages effort and perseverance, which is something my daughter struggles with. When she does not get something right away, she simply gives up.I also really love the illustrations in the story - they are well done and slightly anime style which might make them appealing to kids today. Great job on this book - helping kids with math can be difficult, but it's so important!
