PETS 2 is an extension of those thinking strategies from the original PETS book. Students now discover how the characters blend their thinking skills as they work together to solve problems. Each section includes read-aloud stories, a series of whole class activities, detailed lesson plans, reproducibles, and additional activities for small groups.

In Primary Education Thinking Skills 3 the characters continue to blend their thinking skills in a problem-solving format as in PETS 2. More complex problems in logic, invention, visual perception, and evaluation develop these thinking strategies more fully in the young learner through stories and whole class games and activities. Small group follow-up lessons provide additional activities. These small group lessons stimulate students with high-interest, challenging activities, more intensive thinking games, and a variety of hands-on puzzles to solve. Detailed lesson plans are provided for the whole class and small group lessons.
