Learn Maths with Mo: Multiplication

Learn all about multiplication with Mo the Monster and his friends in these fun first maths books for children aged 5 and up.

Mo and his friend Frankie are off to the seaside today! Together they're going to learn about grouping, multiplying and the five and ten times tables while they build sandcastles, fish in rock pools and spend money at the arcade. But watch out for those crabs Mo!

If a monster can understand maths, anyone can! Join Mo the Monster as he discovers the basic principles of maths, from what a fraction is, to what 3D shapes are to how to multiply BIG numbers. Along the way, Mo is kept focused (monsters are notoriously easily distracted) with the help of simple, clearly presented information, plenty of questions to answer and lots of maths puzzles and activities.

The funny, colourful illustrations offer lots of scope for humour and interest to keep children engaged while they learn. Aimed at readers aged 5+.
