Both my dc enjoyed them all a lot! We did a little each day to start off each day with our thinking caps on. It was cheery. I think Can You Find Me? is a light, mildly challenging introduction to critical thinking, not too much meat. But then the target age is young and my kids felt great about getting the answers right. Little or no frustration. The kids liked the pictures, glossy pages and variety. I think the Visual Skills Books is more challenging and works on what I consider important pre-reading skills like visual discrimination and visual memory. It wasn't too hard, just right.
Stepping Stones by EPS is another critical thinking introduction. I think their level 1 book is harder for the age group.
The price for the Critical Thinking Press books is high, but I don't have regrets using them.
