Dr. Funster's Think-A-Minutes A1 Workbook - Fast, Fun Brainwork for Higher Grades & Top Test Scores (Grades 2-3)

In general, I love the Critical Thinking Company. This book is not my favorite because I think it is a little too short. But it is a nice sampler to the different workbooks they offer. So if you're not sure which other books to buy, you can start with this one. I found the difficulty of A1 to be sort of all over--some were easy enough for my four year old, and some were challenging for my six year old. But what's nice is that each page has one simple exercise, and it tells you which book in the series you should buy if you liked that activity. I wish there had been a couple more included for each kind--because if your kid finds one kind they really like, there is only one or two more in there which are the same type. But otherwise, like I said, it's a nice introduction.

My kid was stumped by over half of these - quite the wake-up call for a rather cocksure little boy! These require the kid either to read and follow directions VERY carefully or to "think outside the box." I will say that the language exercises are rather culturally biased.

Great great fun book! We love doing these together! We try to fit in a least one a day during our homeschool time and it's so enjoyable for all!

Haven’t used it yet but skimmed through and think it will be a great challenging fun book to get involved with, with my kids!
