This book is a great introduction to teach kids the 9 times table. I love this book as I learned a few tricks myself :) Highly recommend!

I greatly wish that there was such a book as this when I was in school! This would have saved me from a difficult and tedious chore and made it Fun. As it is I am glad that my nephew got to enjoy this book that made the 9X table actually entertaining and obvious. With rhymes and easy to remember tricks he's moved on to new things with a solid understanding of multiplication :)

9X Fun was frustrating and not very effective at teaching the 9 times table. The cartoon story format felt confusing rather than helpful, and the pacing made it hard for kids to focus on learning. While the book tries to make math fun, the execution falls short, and I don’t think it would engage young learners. I gave it one star.
