The Fallacy Detective: Thirty-Eight Lessons on How to Recognize Bad Reasoning

I'm currently reading this with my 11 year old son. He's understanding the concepts and we have been having great discussions. I think this is a great book for teaching critical thinking skills.

This book is a hidden gem. My kid references things learned from it constantly. Not only that but the kid was eager to using the workbook and discuss answers during grading. It is an excellent addition to any child's studies as it will open their eyes to how some people utilize fallacies for persuasive purposes.

I bought this for my mom, per her request – she really enjoyed it! It’s simple, and probably easy to approach even for someone in fifth through eighth grade, but adults will find plenty to get from it as well!

Teaches a lot of valuable things about Logic and Reasoning.

My family did this together and it got kinda overwhelming near the end. I do think we learn a lot from it, but it could have been a little simplified. Sometimes the author’s being funny or cute made things more confusing.

Don’t let the juvenile cover fool you. It’s an excellent book for youth and adults alike. I’m reading this with my 15yo now. In the world we live in the information this book contains is an absolute necessity. Buy it!

I purchased this book for my teen based on a suggestion. At first, I was thrown off by the book cover as I was thinking that it was for younger kids. However, it definitely is not. He just started reading it and is enjoying the book thus far. I look forward to reading it with my preteen.

Easy to read and get through. Some fallacies tend to be super nuanced so the simple explanations help.

We used this book for my grade 7 child - as we are a new homeschool family and I wanted to introduce him to the idea of logic. He loves working his way through it. The book is funny and fun, and leads to great discussion. I have learned a lot as well, and enjoy browsing through the pages. Highly recommended!

Easy to read, funny and well structured. I liked the exercises, the game at the end of the book and the final summary of the fallacies with additional examples - well thought.

I would read it with my children
