The Thinking Toolbox: Thirty-five Lessons That Will Build Your Reasoning Skills
Well, I think the best part of The Thinking Toolbox (at least my favorite) would be the examples because they are hilarious. For instance, in chapter one, When is it dumb to argue, the examples are just silly not-to-do answers (but true) like two people arguing over the stupidest things. I would highly recommend this book. It's useful and great comedy at the same time.

This little book could admirably play a large and important role in the education of any child. - Jordan J. Ballor at the Acton Institute --Acton Institute web siteI am very excited about incorporating The Thinking Toolbox into the seventh grade Logic class that I teach. For the last two years we have used The Fallacy Detective and found it to be engaging, fun and very useful for developing our minds. This new companion book is a great addition that will complement our studies. With clarity and humor, the book covers skills that are essential for becoming a critical thinker. The exercises are challenging and are sure to provoke lively discussion. Thank you, Hans and Nathaniel! - Ronda Clark, Faith Christian School, Roanoke, Virginia --classroom teacher
