Timberdoodle's Review

Mind Benders Book 3

When I was about ten years old, my parents, with their six daughters, ages two to eleven, spent the summer driving a Dodge van from Panama to Oregon. Cars in those days did not have media centers. And if ours had a working radio or air conditioner, it was a well-guarded secret. But what we did have were several large tote bags of puzzle books. 


On this trip, I was first introduced to this absorbing type of puzzle. These deductive thinking puzzles, Mind Benders, develop vital logic, reading comprehension, and mental organization skills necessary for solving real-life problems.


Levels spiral in difficulty within grade ranges. Your child will carefully analyze each Mind Benders story and its clues, identifying logical associations between people, places, and things. The key is to start with the most obvious associations, then deduce less obvious associations until everything finally fits together.


Includes step-by-step instructions and detailed answers. Levels spiral in difficulty within grade ranges.

    Favorite for our 4th grader!

    Our 4th grader loves to do a few of these each night before bed! It helps her organzie and sort in her brain which is a calming activity for her and gets her ready for bed.

    Fun word games!

    This is great for learning how to solve a mystery and work with information you are given. It’s a lot like the game “cat crimes”. Ny kids enjoy solving mysteries and this book is a great resource.

    Fun & Learning!

    My 8 year old loved learning how to do these logic problems. He did need help sometimes, but I was able to walk him through how to find the answer {and the answers give a step-by-step solving as well}. He begged me to order the next book for him! Mind Benders are a fun way to introduce critical thinking!
