A hilarious, timely conversation about the differences between facts and opinions, by the creator of the #1 New York Times bestseller Goodnight Goon

A hilarious, timely conversation about the differences between facts and opinions, by the creator of the #1 New York Times bestseller Goodnight Goon

Do you know the difference between a fact and an opinion? It can be a hard thing to understand. Some things are facts--like the number of robots in this book. Other things are opinions--like which robot would make the best friend, or which robot dances best. And sometimes to tell the difference between a fact and an opinion, you need to wait to get more information--that's because facts can be proven true or false, and opinions are things you feel and believe--but that you can't prove.

Mike Rex introduces young readers to the very important distinction between facts and opinions, and he reminds us that it is nice to listen to one another's opinions, and to stand up for the facts!

About the author

Michael Rex

MICHAEL REX is the creator of over thirty books for children, including the number one bestseller Goodnight Goon and the Fangbone! series. He also illustrated With Any Luck, I'll Drive a Truck (by David Friend). He was inspired to create Icky Ricky by his two boys, Declan and Gavin, who are fine young citizens, but very disgusting. Gavin eats ketchup on cake, and Declan uses a marker to color his belly button. Along with the boys, Mr. Rex lives with his wife and their dog, Roxy, in Leonia, New Jersey. Both his wife and the dog are not disgusting at all. Visit him at www.michaelrex.blogspot.com. You won’t get dirty.

Praise for Facts vs. Opinions vs. Robots

Praise for Eat Pete
     "Rex smartly teases out the will-he, won't-he just long enough. . . . Little readers will be briefly flabbergasted and quite giggly. Rex's clean-lined cartoons are beautifully paced. . . . A silly and surprising picture book that will quickly join regular rotation."--Kirkus
     "Readers should enjoy this clever tale from Rex about impulse control and its surprisingly sympathetic monster."--PW

Praise for Goodnight Goon
     "A clever offering just right for graduates of bedtimes with Goodnight Moon."--SLJ
     "Monstrous twist on a classic bedtime tale. . . . A lot of fun, and it may inspire kids to come up with their own retellings of other familiar classics."--BCCB
     "Snort-inducing parody of one of children's literature's most sacred texts. . . . What fun it is."--Kirkus

Praise for With Any Luck, I'll Drive a Truck
     "A wrecking ball to delight kids and destroy boredom. Dream big, kids."--Vanity Fair
     "A refreshing treat. . . . Rex's brightly colored, slightly rounded vehicles strike a kid-friendly balance between realistic and toy-like."--NY Times
     * "A delightful ode to trucks goes above and beyond the usual churning, wrecking, and pounding. . . . Lucky indeed are the kids who get to indulge in this splendid little wish-fulfillment daydream."--Kirkus STAR
     "Cheeky. . . . Full of vehicular action and mechanical details."--PW
