Review by:
Dana Gagnon
on Dec. 27, 2011 :
This short book is a parable designed to introduce junior high and high school students to logical fallacies--but could be used with younger students as well. The simple plot was just enough to keep me interested, and I enjoyed the situations the author created to illustrate each fallacy. This story is a good introduction to the sometimes-dry topic of logical fallacies for any age. The story ends with a bit of a cliff-hanger, announcing the story will be continued in the next book. I appreciated the high level of editing this ebook edition reflected.
