P.S.
Since drawing this, I have discovered Bindweed is not Columbine.
Aquilegea is.
The maths is right.
The botany isn't.
This illustration is one of my favourites so it's staying for the moment.
In due course, the words will be changed.
The idea is that by using these rhymes along with traditional ones, small children will absorb the 'facts' of multiplication (just as they find out that Jack and Jill went up a hill and Humpty Dumpty fell off a wall) so, when they arrive at school, they will be able to concentrate on the meaning of sums.
