Hello everyone! I feel like it's been forever since we had our last give away nearly 2 weeks ago. I am itching to clear some more space on my shelves!
This week I am featuring two of our most loved home schooling books:
The Fallacy Detective
and
The Thinking Tool Box
We have actually been through these books more than 4 times! My kids loved them. I started reading these to our oldest son when he was in 7th grade. Naturally, my younger children were always listening, and since then they have heard them over and over. They still love them!
Your kids will learn the basic skills of deductive reasoning in The Fallacy Detective. What kind of deductive things? Things like red herrings, circular reasoning, faulty appeals, Tu Quoque, Ad Hominem, generalizations, the list goes on and on! What kid doesn't love a little mystery to solve? Discussion questions and answer key is in the back of the book.
Speaking of mysteries, The Thinking Toolbox is loaded with them! This book takes the next step in the logic stage, kids get to apply what they have learned to different situations. Combine intriguing stories, cute little mysteries with clever cartoon artwork and the kids don't even realize they are learning! I wish there were more books like this, but I haven't found any yet! Questions and answers are included in the book.
Together these books can fill 1-2 years worth of study.
It's no wonder they are on every home school book list that I know!
Just leave me a comment to register for the give away!
Winner will be announced next Monday 6/10/2013!
Good luck!
My website is undergoing a few updates, more are to come! Thanks for your patience and understanding!

My kids have been great this week! There was lots of fighting happening but they sat and talked it out and forgave each other and the past few days have been so peaceful! That truly makes me smile! :)
