Logic Countdown 1 review
Bonnie Risby
Prufrock Press, 2005
Just what I wanted.
I purchased this book for my 7 year old daughter as I didn't think she was getting enough logic problems in school, she has taken this book, and in a short amount of time has worked her way through at least half of it. It has challenged her, and kept her going back for more. It is a great feeling to see her sitting in her room working in her book by herself, because she wants to. I definately ...

Connections: Activities for Deductive Thinking (Introductory)1 review
Bonnie Risby
Prufrock Press, 2005
Good Resource
I bought this book to use with my talented and gifted students. Currently my students are in a multi-age group of third through fifth graders. This book says it's for 3rd-4th graders but I have found it to be fairly advanced. We needed some easier problems first and are working through the problems in here together rather than independently.

Analogies Roundup
I like the way this book is organized. I like that it is ok to copy. The vocabulary is more advanced than I expected. My 4-6 graders will have a hard time with much of the vocabulary. It is better suited for Jr. High.

Lollipop Logic: Critical Thinking Activities 3 reviews
Bonnie Risby
Prufrock Press, 2005
Perfect for 5 yo
I got this to be a supplement for my 5 and 6yo dd and they have done it with ease. It is not very challenging but is great for more independent busy work. I think it is too easy for my 6yo. In my opinion it is more of a preschool workbook. Highly recommend for a 4-5yo.

Alalogies
This is an excellent guide to doing analagies. My only complaint is that it is short. However, very worthwhile.
