So much fun!!

This book is so much fun! I had originally bought it for my 11-year-old son to expose him to something new. He ended up being incredibly good at it right off the bat, and I totally stunk!! But now, I have caught onto the concept of thinking outside the box and we have so much fun working out the scenarios. Very entertaining and challenging.

Fabulous for thinking skills

I used this book with my learning disabled students in math class. It made them use their noggins, and they were actually competitive and enjoyed it.

Outstanding Lateral Thinking Puzzles

I have been keen on lateral puzzles for more decades than I care to admit to. This is a great sample of life situations where you need to twist your thinking a bit to arrive at the solution. It's no longer all about improbable circus acts and albatross pies! I particularly liked The Shot That Saved. Speechless left me speechless. And I wonder how often The Plant is done??
