With hilarious examples and humorous and lively illustrations, Can You Believe It? teaches critical thinking skills AND makes them fun. Readers will become familiar with everything from clickbait to advertorials, learning along the way about how bias creeps into fake news, why celebrity Instagram posts may not always be truthful, and why they should be extra suspicious of anything that makes them feel super smart.
