The Best of Times by Greg Tang
Greg Tang uses poetry and illustrations to provide students with rules and strategies for mastering their multiplication facts.
This is a tale of a poor Chinese farmer and his wife. Mr. Haktak finds a brass pot, and after his wife drops her hairpin into it, they realize that it is a magic pot that doubles everything.
This is a great book for teaching a doubling strategy or introducing the concept of multiplication.
