Little Owl's Book of Thinking is a refreshing contribution to educational literature; one that both children and adults will benefit from and enjoy. Many recent books have begun to acknowledge the great importance of thinking skills in education, but Ian Gilbert takes this theme further by actively exploring how these thinking skills can relate to the development and potential of both the individual and society. Making this profound area accessible to young people, in particular, is no easy task, but Little Owl achieves it admirably. Whether you are a teacher, parent, pupil, or just plain curious, Little Owl's Book of Thinking will provide some invaluable food for thought, learning and life.
