Pros & Cons
Pros
This works well in a homeschool family since moms and dads can each participate with the children. She is 12 now, and i really think it was/is perfect timing for her.
The lessons rely heavily on discussion to help students assimilate the information. This is a skill we need daily in our media saturated culture.
This book is a great resource for anyone wanting to uncover fallacies in all walks of life. Things that i have found most helpful about the book are the lessons are short.
Family recommends this book as a supplement to any curriculum. My 7th grader uses this book at classical conversations. My seventh grader has it as required reading.
Review in a way that invites discussion between parent and child. The writing is enjoyable and not only catches their attention, but keeps it as well. The children glance up at it often as we try to discern any fallacies.
Highlights
Quality
Fantastic book to read and play with the kids
I still plan to continue to go through the book with the girls one lesson at a time
That backfired when my 14 year old 9th grader ran off with the book and began to devour it
Two i have made a list with the name of the fallacy and a short couple word reminder of the meaning of that fallacy
Price
00 cost is completely reusable and nonconsumable
Competitiveness
5 size is a nice one to hold larger than a standard paperback but not as bulky as a fullsize text book
I was able to quickly read it and use it as the basis for a 3day logic class i taught for kids 912

It makes it harder for people to lie to you especially the main stream media and politicians like obama and bush among all the others

Some of the sections allowed us to discuss things so that they were more clear to my younger child but the older kids picked up the fallacies very quickly
