Title: don't waste your money
Review: A ridiculous over-priced piece of fluff. This "book" is less than 40 pages. On each page, a single "mystery" is printed. (Most of us would call it a "riddle" based on a double meaning of a word or phrase). Answers are provided in the back of the book. Example: "Although she was not an unusually large woman, people were always surprised at Livia weighed. What was it?"Answer: "Anchors" (i.e. Livia worked in a harbor and weighed anchors).The author tries to dress up the book by providing a process of "critical questioning" for "solving the mystery".Save your money, especially you homeschoolers and teachers. Instead, go to your local library and check out a book of riddles and jokes. You'll get the same benefit by reading that with your children. After all, the point of riddles is getting you to consider something carefully and look at it in a different way, or what this book would call "critical thinking skills".
