Everybody believes they're immune to propaganda, but everyone is wrong about that. Propaganda assaults us daily, on tv, on the internet, on the streets of our cities; everywhere we look, and even when we don't think we're looking. Easy-to-understand text, simple infographics, and lots of examples helps kids learn how to crack the code of propaganda and learn how to use their brains to decide when they are being manipulated into believing lies presented as the truth.

      Gr 3-6-In today's world being barraged with media has become the norm; being media literate has therefore become essential for students. Advertising, propaganda, social media, and the news are explored here, both historically and currently, with an emphasis on the effect of modern technology. These topics are presented in a balanced manner. The authors aim to grow children into discerning, media-literate youngsters adept at making informed choices and opinions with their media experiences. To that end, readers are encouraged to think critically and to check the credibility of sources. Coverage is multinational, citing detailed examples from China, Russia, Iraq, and Germany in addition to the United States. The illustrations and formatting have kid appeal. VERDICT A necessary purchase for preparing children to navigate today's media-rich landscape.
