A Great Book

I wanted to give my son practice and critical thinking, deductive reasoning, and otherwise "thinking outside the box." I believe this book did just that, and he loved it!

The majority of this book is full of puzzles that you can do with toothpicks...take four toothpicks and make a square then move two of them to make something else. The last part of the book has word/logic problems like the man with the boat trying to move the goat, the cabbage and the wolf to the other side. (Of course the problem is the goat will eat the cabbage, and the wolf will eat the goat, so how will he do it?!?) The first part is good for spacial reasoning--getting kids to recognize and find alternative ways of looking at the problem. It will be a good book for younger kids, but it's also something you can do with older kids because it's the challenge that catches their attention. I've even pulled in logical-thinking should-be-doing-something-else adults for quite some time with these puzzles!
