What a tantalizing treat for young minds! Seven different thinking skills—relationships, analogies, sequences, deduction, inference, pattern decoding, and critical analysis—are presented in a format designed to appeal to the pre-reader.
These skills are precisely those tested for in most cognitive ability tests used up to Grade 2.
Lollipop Logic employs visual and pictorial clues to introduce and reinforce high-powered thinking. This one-of-kind tool gives wings to pre-readers and non readers. This unique book introduces complex thinking skills without the fetters of lexical meaning. Lollipop Logic is the perfect instrument for many young learners. It is simple to use and easy for youngsters to understand. Best of all, it alleviates the encumbrances of reading ability for young minds ready to soar into the stratosphere of thinking skills far beyond their reading levels.
There are three Lollipop Logic Books. Lollipop Logic Book 1, Lollipop Logic Book 2 and Lollipop Logic Book 3 each have the same variety of activities with a similar progression in difficulty through the book. The younger your child is the more likely it is that it is that they'd benefit from completing more than one of the books. Younger children need more reinforcement than older ones do.
For more advanced logic activities in these series refer to Primarily Logic, Logic Countdown, Logic Liftoff, Orbiting with Logic. For alternate formats including logic games see the various categories under Thinking Skills

I got this book for my 4.5 year old daughter and she enjoyed completing the exercises. I would recommend this book to teach young children problem solving and logic skills.
My son is in kindergarten and he loves the lollipop logic set. He completed the first workbook in 1 day, and this one we did a little each day and he was done in a few days. He can't wait to come home from school just to do these.... some of the questions are easy, but others make you think and are more challenging. I was looking for something more than letter recognition and coloring sheets he brings home from school - and I found it!
