The Thinking Toolbox has been the best selling text for teaching critical thinking skills and introduction to logic for over 15 years.
The Bluedorns have certainly achieved their goal of creating a logic textbook that is neither boring nor distant, but rather informative, approachable, enjoyable, and valuable. - Jordan J. Ballor at the Acton Institute --Acton Institute web site
I think the best part of The Thinking Toolbox would be the examples because they are hilarious. . . . I would highly recommend this book. It's useful and great comedy at the same time. Sarah (age 11) --student
This book is like a toolbox, full of different kinds of tools you can use for different thinking tasks. Just as you use the wrench in a regular tool box to fix the sink, so you can use the tools we give you in this book to solve thinking problems.

- Using the scientific method
- Five rules of brainstorming
- Who has a reason to lie?
