More great reads: the best books for 7 year olds
"This fun all colour book is both entertaining and important."
At a time when it is more important than ever that young people can differentiate between true stories and fake news, this entertaining little book presents a range of real and ‘rubbish’ stories, concluding with pages of advice on ways to check the truth of what you’re told.
In chapters covering sport, art, science, the environment and even ‘outrageous outlaws,’ the book presents a series of extraordinary facts, the challenge to readers being, can you spot the fakes? The answers are given on each page and most of the facts are true, e.g. invisibility cloaks really could be a thing, conkers do make excellent liquid soap, a pizza really could cost £100, while even those that are rubbish reveal some more fascinating information.
The pages are full colour, designed to be eye-catching and readable with photos, text boxes and speech bubbles, and it’s great for dipping into, or sharing with friends and family. Best of all, pages at the end explain how to spot facts from fake news, with notes on the questions to ask and tips on how to check both the written word and images. A book that is both entertaining and important.

I thought this book was brilliant. It’s fun, engaging and full of fascinating facts that encourage children to question what they read and decide whether something is real or rubbish.
My son is a huge fan of The Week Junior and was even in an edition of the magazine once, receiving a special badge as a little keepsake. So, whenever a new book from The Week Junior comes along, he gets very excited.

A fun educational read for children although I do think their grownups will equally enjoy this one!
Real or Rubbish
We’re big fans of The Week Junior so the boys were extra happy to receive a copy of this fun book full of news stories that might just be fake, who knows?!
Is cheese buried in ancient tombs?
Is bread banned in space?
Was a bear invited to a birthday?
Do Gulls snatch wallets, hair brushes and coffee mugs as well as chips?!
Is it possible to paint a house using chocolate?
Is it true that when shop dummies first came out in the 1900s, people thought they were real and it caused traffic jams?
It’s up to the reader to uncover the truth and figure out which unbelievable claim is fact and which is fiction. There are shocking and surprising stories, lots of facts and amazing photography.... Read Full Review
Five stars for The Week Junior Real or Rubbish. There are lots of amazing facts and made up articles and I loved testing my family to see if they could realise what was real or rubbish.
This is a really interesting book. It is jam-packed with lots of facts and made up articles to read to your friends and family to test them to see if they can realise which are the facts. There is a really big variety of topics and there are lots of things that surprised me. There are good illustrations on every page.
I really enjoyed reading this book and I would definitely recommend.... Read Full Review
