This is a good lower grade book about the difference between facts and opinions. Using endearing robots, Rex demonstrates when something is a fact (for example: this robot has 2 arms) and when it is an opinion (Which robot would you like to be friends with?). Unfortunately, there is no advice given for how to have a conversation with someone who is presented with overwhelming facts and then says “No, you’re still wrong.” But teaching first or second graders about how to process factual information and formulate informed opinions is an important step in us not having to have those conversations someday, right? Great classroom read aloud book as it is interactive and would get the kids involved.
