This is a great collection for kids. With creepy looking illustrations, it describes each hoax, then gives facts to refute them. It explains how hoaxes came to be, and how they can be explained away. My favorite was the giant cat, Snowball, whose picture shows her to be the size of a big dog being held by his owner. It was a picture that his owner faked and sent to a few of his friends. He claimed the gigantic size was the result of radiation, but of course, he never thought anyone would believe him! But they did, and the picture went viral. This collection ends with this caveat: seeing isn’t always believing! This collection may be short, but it is quite entertaining, has clear and precise information, and includes a glossary and a listing of books as well as a safe way to search websites for further reading.
