Product reviews for Puffed Out

Having heard Will speak about Growth Mindset we ordered a copy of Puffed Out. The many original ideas, linked to the well-known story of the Three Little Pigs quickly appealed to both staff and students. Although aimed at engaging thinking skills in children, many of the questions also engaged adults in heated debate, and this supported our wider work in encouraging staff to test and adopt new ideas and approaches to learning. The structure of the text means that it is easy to dip into for a short activity, or use as a springboard for longer tasks. We also appreciated the fact that the book does not shy away from complex ideas and actively promotes the understanding of new vocabulary. Even though the original text is for young children Puffed Out aims to develop crucial thinking skills and promotes a love of curiosity and learning.
