Summary: Simple Puzzles to Apply and Advance Thinking Skills
Review: This is a refreshing workbook! My son and I appreciated the variety of problems presented in this book. It has some visual discrimination problems as well as problems based around reading and math. The puzzles are a great complement to traditional workbooks that focus on specific skills like math. I discovered this workbook when my son was 5 and he was able to independently work through the exercises. He felt that the puzzles ranged from very easy to challenging.

Highly recommended...I wish I could get the book for ages 6-8, but it does not appear to be available.

Summary: A "brainstormer" for age 4-6
Review: This workbook consists of 70 exercises on thinking skills in various aspects, such as visual discrimination, problem solving, understanding relationship,inference, sequencing, storytelling and rhyming words. My 5 years old girl needs me to explain the exercise to her, and it gives her some brain storming. As what the editor written: If a child has grasp of how to think, school success and even success in life will become more assured. However not in ONE workbook, the Gifted and Talented Workbooks have some more titles on maths, reading, science and language arts.
