Default "think of" or "think about"

Could anyone tell me the difference between "think of" and "think about"?

example:
-We must think of the fun of that book.

-We must think about the fun that book.

Thank you!

Think about = process
What are you thinking about
Think of = opinion, etc
What did you think of the film?
