As a trainer and writer, I often reach to children's books to explain difficult topics to adults. A well-written children's book will help get ideas across in several ways that children (and adults) can easily master. This is one of those books. I adapted some of the ideas to an adult audience, but with the same goal of practice, review, discuss, revise, and it worked well.

A slim volume that explains such complex details as analytical thinking and paying attention to your audience. Well worth the price and time.
