Continuous Blinking: Critical Thinking Stories for Clever and Determined Young Thinkers by Dr Andrew Lee
​Continuous Blinking: Critical Thinking stories for Clever and Determined Young Thinkers is a book for young people who are wanting to develop their critical thinking skills. The book is comprised of fifteen stories with questions on each story at the end of the book. The book is designed for children, for teachers of critical thinking, for parents, grandparents and family members to provide for younger members of their family or social network. The stories in the book are quirky and idiosyncratic and designed to make young people think differently, and to challenge their thinking. The stories can be approached individually, in a class, or with an adult or peer. The book might be used in schools, in critical thinking classes, clubs or groups, with parents, family or friends, or read by anyone for pleasure.
