out by exploring the 1,000 questions set out in 100 categories that

Who, but this one does! Call Yourself a Toffees Fan? is a quirky,
challenging affair for real Everton fans who can test themselves or
take on each other, with the emphasis on enjoyment and discovery.

Everton manager to score the winning goal in a European Cup Final?
You will struggle to find anything as comprehensive as this
eclectic collection. It s a must for Everton fans of all ages and
you might not see anything quite like it again.

This safari will send students on an expedition that will result in
hours of good thinking and unbridled enthusiasm. As enthusiasm
soars so do the levels of thinking skills engaged. Students love
these deductive logic puzzles so much that they beg to do them,
little realizing that they are building important reading
comprehension and thinking skills. Teachers love these puzzles
because of their ease of use in multicurricular parallels and their
effortlessness in fitting into pullout programs of limited
duration. Each motivating puzzle includes an introduction with
student-related topics, clues, a grid, and an illustration. The
goal in Logic Safari is to hunt down the clues, sort, analyze, and
combine them into the correct solution. Each book represents an
ever-increasing challenge to students while scenarios remain fresh,
evoking renewed eagerness. The size of the grids is an indication
of difficulty. This is the second in a three-book series of
deductive logic puzzles. For alternate levels, see Logic Safari
Book 1 and Logic Safari Book 3. Grades 3-4
This classic series will excite students' imaginations while
enriching skills in logical thinking. Logic Countdown problems are
easy to incorporate into lesson plans and are formatted to enhance
the fullest spectrum of curriculum areas while sharpening thinking
skills. Challenging and instructional, these thought-provoking
books present sequential exercises in logical reasoning that
include relationships, analogies, syllogisms, sequences, deductive
reasoning, inference, truth-values, and logical notation. Simple
grids coupled with intriguing problems evoke enthusiasm and inspire
students to higher and higher levels of thinking. Each book builds
on concepts presented previously in the series to offer a
comprehensive logic adventure for young thinkers. The skills
students build by using this book are applicable to several areas
of the curriculum. Academic skills used for reading, math, writing,
and science all depend on the ability to perceive and define
relationships and to form inferences. But, beyond the academic
world, students will find logical thinking an integral part of
everyday life. This is the first in a three-book series designed to
sharpen children's logical thinking skills. Once students master
the skills presented in this book, they will be ready for new
challenges in Logic Liftoff and Orbiting with Logic. Grades 3-4

puzzle which will appeal to lovers of logic and deduction brain
teasers. Use your mental agility to complete the grids using the
train tracks. Puzzles included cover three levels of difficulty, 30
easy, 130 medium, 40 hard. How To Play: A map grid shows two towns,
typically A and B. The objective of the puzzle is to lay down
tracks to connect the two towns. Numbers around the outside of the
grid tell you how many pieces of track are to be placed in each row
and column. You can only use straight (horizontal and vertical) and
curved (right and left) rails and the track cannot cross over
itself. There is something very satisfying in the laying down of
tracks. The puzzles are arranged in Easy, Medium and Hard, where
difficulty is largely dependent on the size of the map grid (6x6,
8x8 and 10x10).
