Synopsis
The Thinking Toolbox has been the best selling text for teaching critical thinking skills and introduction to logic for over 15 years.
"The Bluedorns have certainly achieved their goal of creating a logic textbook that is neither boring nor distant, but rather informative, approachable, enjoyable, and valuable." - Jordan J. Ballor at the Acton Institute --Acton Institute web site
"I think the best part of The Thinking Toolbox would be the examples because they are hilarious. . . . I would highly recommend this book. It's useful and great comedy at the same time." Sarah (age 11) --student
This book is like a toolbox, full of different kinds of tools you can use for different thinking tasks. Just as you use the wrench in a regular tool box to fix the sink, so you can use the tools we give you in this book to solve thinking problems.
- When it is dumb to argue
- Using the scientific method
- Five rules of brainstorming
- Who has a reason to lie?
- How to analyze opposing viewpoints
- How to analyze evidence and sources
- How to list reasons why you believe something
- And much more
We wrote this book for children and adults who want to learn logic and critical thinking skills. The Thinking Toolbox follows the same style as The Fallacy Detective with lessons and exercises and an answer key in the back. Parents and teachers, as well as anybody who wants to learn logic, will find The Thinking Toolbox easy to use and practical.
Features:
- Fun to use not dry like a math textbook
- Can be used after The Fallacy Detective
- Introductory teaches skills you can use right away
- Self-teaching format
- For ages thirteen and older
- Over 60 cartoon illustrations by Richard LaPierre

About the Author
In 1999 Nathaniel Bluedorn and Hans Bluedorn decided to try to turn their interest in logic into a livelihood by starting Christian Logic.com. Since then, they have written two books on logic for children and adults, The Fallacy Detective and The Thinking Toolbox. They have recently produced their first DVD, Logic in 100 Minutes.
Review
Well, I think the best part of The Thinking Toolbox (at least my favorite) would be the examples because they are hilarious. For instance, in chapter one, When is it dumb to argue, the examples are just silly not-to-do answers (but true) like two people arguing over the stupidest things. I would highly recommend this book. It's useful and great comedy at the same time. Sarah (age 11) --student
The Bluedorns have certainly achieved their goal of creating a logic textbook that is neither boring nor distant, but rather informative, approachable, enjoyable, and valuable. This little book could admirably play a large and important role in the education of any child. - Jordan J. Ballor at the Acton Institute --Acton Institute web site
I am very excited about incorporating The Thinking Toolbox into the seventh grade Logic class that I teach. For the last two years we have used The Fallacy Detective and found it to be engaging, fun and very useful for developing our minds. This new companion book is a great addition that will complement our studies. With clarity and humor, the book covers skills that are essential for becoming a critical thinker. The exercises are challenging and are sure to provoke lively discussion. Thank you, Hans and Nathaniel! - Ronda Clark, Faith Christian School, Roanoke, Virginia --classroom teacher
