| Facts Vs. Opinions Vs. Robots by Michael RexThe question: “Do you know the difference between a fact and an opinion?”
The lesson: A group of robot friends, rendered in crisp and colorful illustrations, demonstrate the difference between a provable fact (each of the robots has two eyes) and a not-so-provable opinion (which robot has cooler dance moves?), as well as the importance of listening.
Reviewers say: “a fun, cogent argument for informed and civil conversation” (Publishers Weekly). |

Sensibly they stayed put and were rescued by farmers a day or so later. This story attracted huge media attention locally and around the world"
