Maybe Yes, Maybe No is a child's introduction to healthy skepticism. The book's ten-year-old heroine, Andrea, is "always asking questions," writes author Dan Barker, because she thinks "you should prove the truth of a strange story before you believe it." This book teaches the essentials of critical thinking - "Check it out," "Repeat the experiment," "Try to prove it wrong," "It has to make sense" - illustrating each of these rules with clear examples.
Appropriate for elementary school and early middle school.
