Aunt Polly Said So (But She Was Wrong This Time): A Story about Evidence and Truth (Truth Sleuths) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A funny, thoughtful story about questioning what you hear—even when it comes from someone you love.

Aunt Polly always sounds so sure. Whether she’s talking about left-handed jumpers, beeswax moons, or our brains, her voice is full of confidence. And until now, her niece has believed every word.

But when one of Aunt Polly’s outrageous “facts” starts to sound a little too ridiculous, a spark of curiosity leads to something new: research. Real evidence. And a gentle, brave conversation about the difference between stories and truth.

Perfect for ages 8–12, this charming and relatable picture book encourages kids to:

• Think critically about what they hear

• Double-check information—even from trusted adults

• Explore research and evidence with curiosity, not confrontation

Told in one sentence per page with lively illustrations, this book is ideal for sparking conversations about media literacy, family tales, and the courage it takes to ask: Is that really true?

Part of the Truth Sleuths series—books that celebrate kids who think for themselves.
