A modern multiplication primer that tackles the terrors of a typical school year. Learning math has never been this much fun! Inspired by a Victorian math primer, Terrible Times Tables is a modern take on learning one’s multiplication tables, from numbers 2 to 10, featuring elementary school themes of homeroom, field trips, cafeteria food, holidays, and recitals. Featuring a reluctant narrator and a few unwitting critters, learning math has never been so much fun or amusing.
This is a fascinating premise for a book... times tables set to rhymes to help with memory and familiarity. The cadence isn't perfect and some of the rhymes definitely rely on grade school humor that children may find entertaining but parents less so, but the illustrations are cute and it serves its purpose... even if it's one you may get sick of reading ad nauseum.
