Help Save Democracy, One Young Reader at a Time! Please Teach Critical Thinking Before It is Too Lat

Has your kid ever come home from school spouting gossip/rumors/fake news??? This is the perfect antidote! With clever illustrations and examples, the author paves a path to critical thinking for students as young as 8 or 9 years old. She makes concrete suggestions, like questioning what doesn't sound right, and checking facts against other trusted sources (parent, teacher, librarian, pediatrician). You can read this with your child in 2-3 short sessions. When one fourth-grader I was tutoring finished the book, she slammed the cover closed and exclaimed excitedly with a new sense of empowerment, " EVERYONE Should Read This Book!" What a moment. Kids say the darnedest things. She is right. This book should be mandatory before voting!
