But what if there was a way of disagreeing that worked? What if there was a way kids could change adults’ minds? Welcome to debating! This book can help kids master exactly how it’s done. As two debaters on opposing sides tackle each of five hot-button issues - chores, screen time, eating vegetables, bedtime and doing homework - readers follow along, step-by-step, and learn the ins and outs of doing research, constructing an argument and rebutting an opponent’s case. Then, after each debate, readers get to decide which side they’re on - and they just might surprise themselves! It turns out, making a smart and logical argument is a perfect formula for getting your way! What kid can resist?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile everyone else tells kids not to argue, award-winning author Tanya Lloyd Kyi says go for it - the right way - in this lively and thought-provoking book.
