Great resource to help a young mathematician to understand how multiplication is a faster way to add, to see how regrouping works and all in a fun and upbeat format. Graphic novelish in style and not too much information. Enjoyed this book and the learning.

For visual kids this is such a great series of books about mathematics. It takes basic math concepts, multiplication in this case, and describes them with word problems but through illustrations and dialogue bubbles like a graphic novel.

It’s ok, it’s basic multiplication information. For a kids book I expect this, but sometimes it got a little confusing. If you understand multiplication you can figure out what they are saying, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the book doesn’t it?

My 8-year-old son loved this book and begged me to bring home the rest of the series from the library.
