Little Owls Book of Thinking squeezes years of research, teaching and experience into seven chapters, two owls and a whole forest of woodland creatures.

Following the seven lessons Benny the owlet receives from his wise old father, this book will show you how to think and think well. Ideal for teachers, parents and older children, this book is an excellent introduction to the concept of thinking skills and why they are so important.

Since establishing Independent Thinking 25 years ago, Ian Gilbert has made a name for himself across the world as a highly original writer, editor, speaker, practitioner and thinker and is someone who the IB World magazine has referred to as one of the worlds leading educational visionaries.The author of several books, and the editor of many more, Ian is known by thousands of teachers and young people across the world for his award-winning Thunks books. Thunks grew out of Ians work with Philosophy for Children (P4C), and are beguiling yet deceptively powerful little philosophical questions that he has created to make childrens - as well as their teachers - brains hurt.Ians growing collection of bestselling books has a more serious side too, without ever losing sight of his trademark wit and straight-talking style. The Little Book of Bereavement for Schools, born from personal family experience, is finding a home in schools across the world, and The Working Class - a massive collaborative effort he instigated and edited - is making a genuine difference to the lives of young people from some of the poorest backgrounds.A unique writer and editor, there is no other voice like Ian Gilberts in education today.
