Thank you everyone for your help in guiding me on finding logic threads. You have been very helpful. I have looked up many of the recommendations in those threads.

Okay so now I have a few questions...

What is the difference between Logic and Critical Thinking?

Many of what I have looked up mention Christian views in logic. What does this mean? Are these books geared toward only Christian topics or just another point of view?

I already have A Rulebook for Arguments by Anthony Weston but it doesn't have any exercises for the twins to work on so I wanted something more for them to learn about logic (or is it critical thinking I am looking for?) and for them to do some skill building exercises.

I am considering buying:
Logic I: Tools for Thinking by Norman Birkett or
Fallacy Detectives and Thinking Toolbox or
Art of Argument by Aaron Larsen

So please help me figure this out-LOL!!!!!
