In this fun story, it is Biff and Chip's birthday. They have a number of friends coming, invitations to send, food to buy and so much more! With so many children and so much to do, Dad shows Biff that using times tables can help prepare for the big day. Times tables are very hard for children to learn.

To ensure that the levelling is right, the main focus of the story is the two, five and ten times tables, which are the first times tables children are taught at school.
