Reviews

Grade 4-7 This collection of questions that stimulate thinking is a combination joke book, logic book and puzzle book. Divided into six chapters, the questions are logically arranged so that children can easily locate the kinds of problems they enjoy. A final chapter provides the answers. While some of the "trivia" type questions may be too hard for many, trivia buffs will enjoy learning some new tidbits. The verbal questions that rely on word plays are particularly entertaining and sure to tickle many students. Many of the logic problems will sound familiar to those who have used other logic books, but the popularity of this kind of book will make it a valuable addition to any library collection.
