The Thinking Toolbox: Thirty-Five Lessons That Will Build Your Reasoning Skills

This book has exceeded our expectations! It has great lessons, that are easy to understand, and the humor is great! My daughter and I have a fantastic time reading it together, discussing the lessons, and laughing at the hilarious examples. Laughter while learning makes things so much better! We read this with a logical fallacies book and pick out which falacies are being used in some of the examples, as well. There are a lot of layers to the chapters, and if you have a good understanding of debate, it really gives great examples to expand upon. Buy this! It's our favorite school book! I included one of the examples that had my daughter and I crying laughing and making cat train sound effects! 😂

I’ma homeschooling mama on of one, public school mama to another, looking for curriculum diversity. The schools in our area don’t teach logic as a subject so I wasn’t sure what to expect, and my sixth grader and I love this book! We read the descriptions and work through the questions together. When we review the answers, the conversation they inspire are terrific! This would be a great topic to add to any young learner’s day. I highly recommend it.

A welcome book that does not spew far-left ideology and actually attempts to teach logic.

It is a good book to help children to critically think and problem solving skills. I would recommend it because it is funny as well as educational.

So much effort by the author. My 13 yr old son s**ks at reasoning skills... in a way that scares you to death that he’ll ever, ever drive a car. I’m desperate to impart in him critical thinking skills. This book was a great place to start. We work together daily in 15-20 minutes a lesson, and he actually likes it. It’s helping somehow... God only knows how, but it’s helping.

I have read the book in order to learn more about logic and scientific thinking. It is written in a clear and understandable language, and I think it is suitable for everyone from about 10 years and up. Each chapter comes with several excercises, and they are entertaining as well as educational. I think this book is a great read!

I thought my son would hate this book but he needed a round of logical thinking so I gave it a try. He loved it. He did the whole book on his own and spent a lot of time thinking about his answers to the questions that are included. I can see him applying what he learned in his conversations with his siblings. It gave my computer gamer son a logical "one-up".

This is a very enjoyable way to learn critical thinking skills. My eleven year old son gets a lot out of it - and so do I. We appreciate the humor.
