Includes bibliographical references and index."For every kid who's tired of eating vegetables and going to bed on time, here's a book that helps them figure out how to get their own way. Examining both sides of five issues with big kid appeal (eating vegetables, bedtimes, screentime, homework, and doing chores), award-winning author Tanya Lloyd Kyi walks readers through the basics of debate skills, critical thinking and media literacy. How to pick a side, do your research, construct your argument, and rebut your opponent's case are all explained step by step as kids follow a cast of diverse characters debating one another. And along the way, readers will learn key tips about debating and public speaking (stand up straight! make eye contact!) as they consider the pros and cons of broccoli, curfews, and more. Not even question has an easy yes or no answer, and readers might be surprised to find themselves on the side of strict bedtimes and screentime limits. Critical thinking becomes fun -- and a strategy for out-witting your parents -- in this lively, thoroughly researched look at debating."--
