Get the details » Can You Believe It? The Reviews Are In! Buy Now “Colourful and catchy, Can You Believe It? How to Spot Fake News and Find the Facts provides a good overview of what fake news is, why people create and circulate fake news, and how to identify fake news. While aimed at younger readers, this book can be used by readers from all ages and is an excellent resource for learning about fake news and how to identify it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, ****/5″ -CM Canadian Review of Materials, by Daphne Hamilton-Nagorsen Read the full review “Although technically a children’s book, this is a perfect text for anyone who wants to grow more tech- and media-savvy.” -Book Riot, by Carolina Ciucci Read the full article “I’m glad I have a copy of this book in my school library” “Unlike similar books, it doesn’t dwell on the ‘media is terrible and out to trick you’ angle. It demonstrates that with some applied strategies, it can be possible to be a more discerning reader/listener/viewer.” -Diana Maliszewski, AML (Association for Media Literacy) Read the full review Read Maliszewski’s thoughts about “triangulation” here “This book helps young readers decide which online information they can trust—and which they can’t. Explore how real journalism is made, what “fake news” is and how to spot the difference. Learn about bylines and credible sources, influencers and clickbait. Readers are encouraged to approach online information with skepticism and to make smart choices about what they believe and share.” -Canadian Children’s Book Centre (CCBC), Best Books for Kids and Teens Fall 2022 “Top Book for Grades 9-12” Thank you Kate Barlow of the Oakville News, for including Can You Believe It? in this fantastic list of reads by great kidlit authors including Lana Button (The Cow Said Boo! illustrated by Alice Carter), Jennifer Maruno (While You Sleep, illustrated by Miki Sato), Sylvia McNicoll (What the Dog Knows) and Karen Bass (Blood Donor). Read the full review Helen Kubiw is a wonderful reviewer and I’m very proud about this glowing review of Can You Believe It? She had lots of nice things to say–I made the graphic below about Kathleen Marcotte’s illustrations because I think sometimes they don’t get enough credit. They really are incredible and they add SO MUCH to this book! Also, what Helen says about them is bang-on.
