This eBook includes 162 digital multiplication flash cards in color (where color is available). Each flash card is decorated with smiley faces and looks just like the flash cards depicted on the thumbnail image for the cover of this eBook.

The first set of 81 flash cards has the problems 1x1 thru 9x9 in order. The first half of this eBook is designed for kids who are still memorizing their times tables.

The second set of 81 flash cards has the problems 1x1 thru 9x9 shuffled. The second half of this eBook is designed for kids who have tried to memorize their times tables, and who need to test their mastery of it.

Each flash card appears as its own picture on its own page. All of the flash cards come in pairs: First comes the problem flash card, followed by the corresponding answer flash card. The answer flash card reminds you what the problem was. So first you see the problem, and then you check your answer immediately.

This eBook reads like a book. It is not a program or a game. It does not use a random number generator. The flash cards do look like ordinary flashcards (and they are in color and are decorated with smiley faces). The first half of this eBook has the flash cards in order to help memorize the times tables. The second half are shuffled to help test how well the times tables have been memorized. The shuffled cards will always appear in the same order.

Everyone can use someone to talk to, no matter how old you are or what's going on in your life. But children often haven't yet learned the value of voicing their fears, talking out anxieties, or sharing their thoughts with people outside of their family. It can also be hard to open up to someone, especially a professional, when you're filled with fears about what people might think and you don't understand the process.

Today is Tuesday presents the warm and comforting tale of a young boy named Tommy who must come to terms with his weekly therapy appointments. Fearful that his friends will think he's "crazy" or tease him, and even that his mom will find out what he talks about, Tommy resists his initial appointment and is cautious to hide his Tuesday appointments from others. As time passes, however, Tommy is surprised to learn the truth of the matter—-maybe he's not alone in his need to visit a doctor, and maybe his situation isn't so unique or strange after all. As the pieces come together in a way that makes Tommy happier, even about his Tuesday psychologist visits, he finds himself more comfortable, confident, and relaxed in his life.

In its understanding tone and realistic childhood scenarios, the turn of events in Today is Tuesday can help other young therapy patients better understand their situation too.
