5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to logic, September 20, 2000

By	"mfshermantank" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews

It's no secret that I greatly admire Jessie Wise's The Well Trained Mind. It was Wise's recommendation that led me to the Mind Benders books, and my son and I learned a great deal working through the four A books. They were ample preparation for the more rigorous course of logic study we've undertaken this year. A word to others who have landed here because of Wise's book: Unless you are a professor of logic, you really must invest in the companion books, Mind Benders Instructions and Detailed Solutions and Warm Up Mind Benders.
