This is a new addition to our schoolroom this year. I have wanted this book for many years but considered it an "extra" and never purchased it. Well, this was the year I spent the extra money and have been kicking myself ever since for not purchasing it sooner! I love this book and so do the children.

It is great when you are sitting at the table for dinner and amongst the chatter you hear one of the children yell out, "RED HERRING!".

So what is a fallacy?
A fallacy is an error in logic – a place where someone has made a mistake in his thinking.

The Fallacy Detective contains thirty-six lessons on how to recognize bad reasoning. The book is fun to use and self-teaching. The lessons cover logical fallacies and propaganda techniques. They also explain how you can spot fallacies, and there are exercises to stretch your abilities for detecting fallacies. The book includes a game and many cartoons as examples of the fallacy being covered. The cartoons include Peanuts, Dilbert, Calvin & Hobbes, and several original cartoons.
