Product reviews for The Little Book of Thunks®

This is a welcome new book of beguiling quotes that will encourage children to think and is not yet another puzzle book but an exercise book in which you can give your brain a range of activities to develop your ability to think. These activities will tap into children's intellectual curiosity. “Judicious questioning is nearly the half of knowledge”, and is the skill of a good teacher. This book is timely and should be welcomed by both teachers and parents as thinking should be taught in schools but should permeate everything we do.. As in physical fitness the message to staying in good mental shape is” use it or lose it ” There is an excellent philosophical statement at the beginning of this book followed by 259 thought provoking questions or “thunks” , many of them based on a values education. There are no right or wrong answers which makes the “thunks” even more enjoyable. Many of the “thunks' could be used as posters to be placed in strategic places around the school where children pass daily on the kitchen notice board at home.
