"Mind-exercise for 6-10 year olds. Toby was a little too young for this book, but I think he got at least an introduction to some analytic thinking principles from this.
Here is a great example of a "story to solve." It's story #1 - "Fishing" - One fine summer day two fathers and two sons went fishing at their favorite lake. They fished and talked all morning long and by noon everyone had caught one fish. As the two fathers and two sons walked back home, everyone was happy because each had a fish even though only three fish had been caught. Two fathers and two sons. Only three fish and no fish were lost. How can this have happened?
Also, this book is illustrated by Peter Sis of "Fire Truck" and "Trucks" (Toby favorites). However, instead of simplistic sharpie-style, there is a more classic, pointillistic (if that's a word) illustration."
