Synopsis:

This fun, colorful 112-page activity book of mind-building riddles for ages 3-5 introduces young minds to critical thinking and organized analysis. To solve the riddles, students practice the following:
- Identifying Similarities and Differences
- Forming/Following Sequences and Patterns
- Classifying Objects and Groups
- Identifying/Interpreting Analogies
- Logic.

The riddles also teach the following concepts found in most state and national standards:
Math--counting, shape and number recognition, recognizing and completing patterns, spatial position, more/less/equal, ordinal numbers (first, third, etc.), part/whole measurement
Reading Readiness--letter recognition, rhyming words, letter-sound association, letter sequence, sight words, directionality
Science--animal attributes, weather/seasons, senses, body parts, plants/plant growth, force/motion
Social Studies--family, community helpers, health and safety, identifying locations

Each riddle requires identification of two or more clues to deduce the answer. Students either point to a picture or verbalize the answer. Activities may be enhanced by teaching additional information about the animals, objects, shapes, letters, and numbers used in the riddles. This book includes answers and a chart of the skills developed in each activity.
