It is a amazon self-published book which is why its a bit expensive and has a thin 'self-published' feel to it but don't let that put you off! I'm very grateful to the author for providing a different way of learning times tables from the same old learning by rote! It never worked for me and unsurprisingly my daughter, who loves to draw, seems to be the same. I've never been able to remember 6 x 9 for example but now for some reason I find it easy to remember 6 elves go to the magic tree (9) 54 days before Christmas. It's like using mnemonics for times tables. Some people will say its far to complicated as you have to learn a story in order to remember something else but for many people the remembering the story part is far easier than just remembering the numbers on their own! Me included!When I first read it, I could feel myself getting a bit overwhelmed with all the characters and numbers but if you take it one story at a time and just stick with it your brain soon cracks the code. You start to see the characters as their numbers and you remember the resulting number in the story.My daughter has enjoyed the stories and has already remembered some of them. As we keep reading, I'm sure the harder ones will stick too. She also loves the rhymes in Part Two for the 3X3, 4x4, 5x5 etc. These are great and she's already cracked these.I'm now planning to get the author's other book on number bonds! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent and Fun Memory Technique *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 23 July 2019* Learning you times tables is not a cognitive task, it is simply a memory recall process. When you "know" your times tables you don't calculate the multiplications in your head, that would be too slow. You simply "know" them by retrieving them from memory. This book uses the popular and effective "Link and Story Method" memory technique to create an odd but memorable story about each multiplication and answer. Its amazing, I read it to my 7 year old son without explaining what it was all about. It took about 2 evenings to complete (part 1) and I took my time making sure to test him on remembering previous stories as I read him the next few. On the third evening I explained what the strange stories were about and how they related to numbers and times tables. He got it immediately and then simply knew all his times tables 3,4,6,7,8,9’s. Slow recall to begin with as he needed to remind himself of the story in his head but over the next few days and weeks it became second nature. The "Link and Story Method" memory technique is nothing new but in this scenario it seems like magic... fully buy into the technique and you can believe the 5 star reviews, this is an amazing book. I can only assume the reviewers describing the book as rubbish just didn't grasp what it was trying to achieve. Make it about stories first... then numbers after. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for engagement in learning *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 2 August 2019* This is pretty magical this book! Read with my 6 year old and she knew her times tables within the day! It’s great to use imagination to form stories to help remember the other ones too. My only concern is I learnt mine from rote learning as a child and it remains embedded today- not sure how long this will remain for her. Also, there’s no sequencing, the book jumps from one times table set to the next, again, not sure how this would help long term. Nonetheless it certainly helped with engagement and confidence so it’s worth the buy d even just to make maths more fun!! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/52472715-times-fables-learn-your-times-tables-in-as-little-as](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/52472715-times-fables-learn-your-times-tables-in-as-little-as) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
