Product Reviews:
  Excellent book for pre-adolescents 
This is by far the best book on the subject for kids in roughly a pre-adolescent age range (though of course your child's reading level may vary). Ruchlis's explanations and examples are clear, concise and well-put. My one quibble with the book is that it displays a bit of a liberal bias--the bulk of the more political examples have to do with flawed reasoning by conservatives/Republicans, few with flawed reasoning by liberals/Democrats. I wish Ruchlis had been more attentive to this issue when choosing examples (though it might make for a good teaching moment about how even authors of books like this are not immune from bias). Nonetheless it is an excellent book.
  Good intro to logic and reason... 
This is a great book for those that need to brush up on reasoning skills or as an introduction. With many full grown adults possessing little or no science and critical thinking education these days, books like these are a must-read. It is never too late to empower yourself with logic!
  too simple, good for young teenagers 
From the title and table of contents i expected a lot more. It indeed did cover all the topics of logic and faulty reasoning and avoidance of prejudice as listed but only in the most superfical ways. Not very many specific examples beyond common sense.
