The Critical Thinking Unit - 24 Logical Fallacy Workbooks for Kids & Teens, Ages 10+

Twenty-four fallacies, taught as one unit - each paired with the true story of the catastrophe it caused, and arranged in a deliberate order (see "How the unit is built" below). From the Salem Witch Trials to the propaganda that built history's cruellest regimes, your kid learns to think critically by watching what happens when nobody does. Think Horrible Histories: real events, genuinely funny, nothing softened - the darkest history you'll ever laugh at.

Yes, it's properly rigorous. No, they won't notice. Each pack runs all six levels of Bloom's Taxonomy, so students don't just memorise a definition - they learn to think with it. They remember the fallacy, understand how it works, spot it in the wild, pull an argument apart, judge whether it holds up, and build their own. Disguised as a comic about the kind of arguments that end civilisations.

All 24 fallacies. Nothing left out. Not one. Slippery Slope. Sunk Cost. Straw Man. Circular Reasoning. Moving the Goalpost. Ad Hominem. False Cause. Appeal to Authority. Bandwagon Effect. Red Herring. Hasty Generalisation. Appeal to Tradition. Gambler's Fallacy. Anecdotal Fallacy. Appeal to Force. Loaded Question. No True Scotsman. False Dilemma. Genetic Fallacy. False Equivalence. Appeal to Emotion. Appeal to Ignorance. You Too. Confirmation Bias.

Not a sampler. Not "the best of." Every pack, every fallacy, every history story, every activity, every answer. Once they can name them, they'll see them everywhere - in ads, on the news, on the feed, at the dinner table. They can't un-learn them. That's entirely the point.

The 24 packs aren't a pile of topics. They're a sequence - from the tricks other people use on your kid, to the hardest ones of all: the tricks their own mind plays.

Run it as a term (two a week), a year-long thread (one a fortnight), or one module at a time. Finish Module 1 and they can already catch five tricks in the wild.

An original illustrated comic starring Duchess and Bruno - showing the fallacy in action so they can't miss it, with a "Break It Down" page that connects the joke to the concept.

A true story from history showing the same fallacy at catastrophic scale - from the Salem Witch Trials to the 20th century's darkest hours, told across multiple illustrated pages.

Real-life examples - spot the fallacy in advertising, social media, news and politics.

A set of fun activities - from everyday examples to historical disasters, with puzzles, matching and a Draw Your Own Comic page.

Full answer sheets - for teachers, parents and group leaders. No prep required.

Homeschool parents who want structured critical thinking that doesn't feel like a chore.

Runs as a complete, standalone unit - a term's worth of critical thinking with a built-in sequence, or a year-long thread at one pack a fortnight. No prep, no scope-and-sequence to write yourself; it's already built.

Classroom teachers looking for something that actually engages tweens and teenagers, not just occupies them.

Parents who want their kid or teen to spot manipulation instead of falling for it.

Gift buyers after the present that makes any kid or teen insufferably good at spotting nonsense.

Designed for ages 10 and up - tweens right through the teenage years. Works solo, read aloud, or in a classroom. Plenty of adults have quietly worked through it themselves.

Curriculum alignment. Aligned to critical thinking and literacy standards across three national curricula. Australia (Australian Curriculum, Years 5-8): English - analysing arguments, evaluating evidence, identifying flawed reasoning; Critical and Creative Thinking. United States (Common Core, Grades 4-8): ELA - evaluating arguments, identifying fallacies, writing with sound reasoning. United Kingdom (National Curriculum, Key Stages 2-3): English - detecting bias, critical evaluation of texts, building reasoned responses.
