Following the pattern of her previous book, this second collection by Hilary McElderry offers new pictures to color and further opportunity and encouragement for children to learn and practise their multiplication tables. It is intended to act as an encouragement for children to learn their tables. On every page there are diagrams made up of small numbered areas.

There are also other charts and hundred squares to color and the book is then rounded off with a target test to confirm the progress being made.
