Nayu's thoughts   
 
This
book provides a really fun way to learn and consolidate maths skills.
I don't have a child to test it on, but I do have myself. The
stickers for each page make completing problems fun. Maths concept are repeated in different ways so the reader can have lots of
practice. The colourful illustrations which made me smile do make the maths more fun than if it was solid text/only black and white.

I'm not good at mental maths, especially when I have what I
call brain fog/fuzzy head when tired, so it felt like quite an
achievement when I was able to work out the answers. (That's why
although I don't have a reader of the target age I'm still able to
test it accurately). This is a perfect book for those who homeschool,
as well as for those who need extra practice at what can be a hard
subject to master. 
Suggested read 
Although it might be a little outdated, here's a fun Maths read from 2012:  Number Rhymes Tens and Teens by Opal Dunn & Hannah Shaw (Children's, Picture book, Non-fiction, 10E/10E)
