The Fortune Teller's Spoon by Paige Peterson

The problems weren't too hard so I could do it. The best part was getting to help solve the mystery.

The artist reminded me of daddy because he kept eating and I liked that the doll could talk. Here are her thoughts on the story: The book was funny. The book suggests ages seven through nine, and T is six, but both her parents have PhD's in math, so I figure she's probably math-literate enough to go through the book, provided I read it to her. When I saw a giveaway for a matrix logic book for kids, I thought this was a perfect opportunity to force share logic puzzles with her. I learned how to do matrix logic puzzles in third or fourth grade, a teacher giving them to me to keep me busy when I'd finished my work.

'About this title' may belong to another edition of this title.Since the only game I've played reliably in the past, let's say eight months has been a logic time killers game on the iPad and before that I dragged around a logic puzzle book with me, filling in the boxes while watching movies with T on the basement couch, let's just say I am a fan of logic. Hans Bluedorn, author of The Fallacy Detective and The Thinking Toolbox With a fun 'do it yourself' section at the end, Logic Lotty: The Fortune Teller's Spoon blends its theme of the logic matrix with a solid story and characters that keep you curious. It is entertaining, and full of random little occurrences that will delight kids and keep them wondering, 'What will come along next?' I would recommend this book to parents and teachers who want to teach deductive reasoning, but still be entertaining. Logic Lotty: The Fortune Teller's Spoon is about two kids who solve a mystery using deductive reasoning and critical thinking. I hope to see further adventures of Logic Lotty! -Michael Weiss, Executive Editor, Logic Puzzles, Penny Publications ( Penny Publications is North America's leading publisher of puzzle and fiction magazines.) Best of all, she integrates logic charts into the story, showing how Lotty uses deduction and the process of elimination to reach her conclusion. The author, Paige Petersen, keeps the plot humming with a series of humorous and offbeat suspects. Lotty and her friend Gavin must help an eccentric fortune teller recover her missing antique spoon. Logic Lotty: The Fortune Teller's Spoon is a funny and engaging introduction to logic puzzles.
