I ordered this book for my 7-year-old who was doing very well on standardized tests, but overall did not employ creative thinking skills. This book has taught her to break down problems to find step-by-step solutions and taught her to verbalize what she could already think through but had difficulty putting into words. Best of all, she loves to complete the exercises; she sees the book as a tool that makes learning fun. This book is an excellent tool, I highly recommend it.

Thinking made easy
This book is wonderful! As every adult knows, analyzing a situation can be critical for success. This book, gently coaches young children not at all on what to think, but HOW to think. If you know you have over compensated with your child/children buy this book so they can learn to think and act on their own.
wonderful way to make your kids think!!!
Between tv, video games and mind numbing worksheets that kids get at school, it seems like there is not much out there that actually teaches children how to think. This book is a wonderful tool to help kids practice this absolutely necessary skill. My son has lots of fun with it and is actually using his brain! I am very impressed with this book and recommend it to all parents, whether or not they are preparing their kids for some sort of academic testing!
Good book
Cover whole range of subjects so that you know your child strong and weak subjects.
Recommended.
Product is great: expedited shipping is not
Paid extra for expedited shipping AND sent an e-mail requesting quicker shipping (which was never answered!).
The book is helpful and is sold by many other sellers: order it elsewhere.
