Product Description

Review

This book gives you the essence of thinking skills gift wrapped in an intriguing storyline and decorated with metaphor, humour and word plays a fascinating starting point for teachers and pupils which will leave them wanting more. Lyn Bull Independent Education Consultant, G&T Consultant, MFL Consultant --Lyn Bull Independent Education Consultant, G&T Consultant, MFL Consultant

This book made me laugh and gain real insight into thinking skills. It brought back memories of Emile by Rousseau as learning is made meaningful and the author stimulates the reader with vivid stories. The fifth oak is very relevant for teachers and support staff who work with disaffected and disturbed learners. The emphasis is on a learning ethos which encourages learners to face up to things, to have a go and get rid of the I can t do it attitude so prevalent in many of our schools. An excellent, stimulating little book which packs a great punch and is a must for every school staffroom. Ian Gilbert, take that train journey again. John Morris, JTM Educational Consultants --John Morris, JTM Educational Consultants

This book is the opera of the pantomime that education so often is. Like a good pantomime it appeals at many levels to all ages. Like a good opera it has guts and passion sung in wonderful harmonies. Buy it, read it and LEARN!

5.0 out of 5 stars Health warning: Laugh aloud humour with some corny jokes., 23 Jun 2007
If this is the introduction, bring on the full volume! This is a very funny, intelligent and thought provoking book. I loved it and have a waiting list for my copy. Get your own! A gentle introduction to Thinking Skills, suitable for all ages. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars An easy read.., 22 Sep 2009
By Ruth Digby (Hertfordshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I heard Ian GIlbert at a conference, bought his book as it looked different and had read it by the time I got home on the train. Very easy read but oh so interesting.
We keep talking about making children independant learners and to do that we focus on questionning and other skills but who has ever broken the whole development process down so simply before.
It reads like a childs book but with such an important message.
I have ordered half a dozen now and we are using it with staff for a reading and development group.
