With more information being created and shared than ever before, it is imperative that we incorporate information literacy into today’s classrooms in order to equip students with critical skills for participation in the world as informed and independent thinkers. In Two Truths and a Lie: It’s Alive!, Ammi-Joan Paquette and Laurie Ann Thompson have created a work of children’s literature that serves as an information literacy entry point, by presenting stories that weave together bewildering biological facts and fascinating photos while also demanding that readers employ their best critical thinking skills in order to weigh whether each story is true or false. This book can be used as a catalyst for shared conversations about facts and fiction, and offers multiple opportunities for practicing the evaluation of nonfiction stories.
