very good to learn and teach

i liked very much. easy to understand and many ideas to teach and prepare workshops

A quality instructional reference and resource book

Collaboratively compiled and written by Barbara A. Cleary and Sally J. Duncan, Thinking Tools For Kids is an impressively accessible educational resource written especially for educators working with grade school kids. Thinking Tools For Kinds presents a compendium of stories depicting real-life problems, and mental tools that can be used logically solve the problems, as well as illustrations by Linda P. Kretzler, glossary aids, a "home connection" for applying what has been learned to problems at home, and a great deal more. Removable exercises that teachers have blanket permission to copy and distribute to students enhance this quality instructional reference and resource book.

A delightful and smart approach to classroom learning

This book is an absolute delight; the stories (I particularly enjoyed the fun story about Michael and his ancestry and the story about Charlie and Emma) are well told and perfectly introduce each thinking tool. My fourth-graders will undoubtedly enjoy this text. Thank you, Barbara Cleary, Sandy Duncan, and Linda Kretzler, for a wonderful resource!
