This hilarious tale, vividly brought to life by illustrator Ben Askew, provides a much-needed lesson for young readers on critical thinking, trusting your gut and not believing everything you see online.
A Story for the Times:
In Professor Nincompoop, an eccentric professor announces his discovery of a new species that he believes will earn him a coveted spot in the Professors Hall of Fame. However, his young fans, Nick and Tess, start to question his outlandish tale, which sounds more like science fiction than scientific fact. As the story unfolds, the children’s skepticism grows, leading to a surprising discovery that underscores the importance of questioning information and trusting one’s instincts—essential skills in today’s digital age.
Addressing a Growing Concern:
With children spending more time online and being increasingly influenced by social media, Professor Nincompoop is a timely tool for parents and educators. The book encourages young readers to question what they see and hear, promoting a healthy skepticism and critical thinking skills that are vital in navigating today’s digital landscape.
