A hilarious, timely conversation about the differences between facts and opinions, by the creator of the #1 New York Times bestseller Goodnight Goon

Do you know the difference between a fact and an opinion? It can be a hard thing to understand. Some things are facts--like the number of robots in this book. Other things are opinions--like which robot would make the best friend, or which robot dances best. And sometimes to tell the difference between a fact and an opinion, you need to wait to get more information--that's because facts can be proven true or false, and opinions are things you feel and believe--but that you can't prove.

Mike Rex introduces young readers to the very important distinction between facts and opinions, and he reminds us that it is nice to listen to one another's opinions, and to stand up for the facts!

Michael Rex


Michael Rex has been writing and illustrating since 1995 and has created more than forty-five books for children, including the #1 bestseller and Halloween favourite Goodnight Goon. His Fangbone! graphic novels have been adapted into an animated TV show, and his recent picture book Facts vs. Opinions vs. Robots is being developed for TV as well. He's written for all ages, from simple picture books such as Eat Pete to the illustrated chapter book series Icky Ricky. He travels the country talking about his work with students, has a master's degree in arts education, and also taught high school art for three years in the Bronx.
He has been obsessed with postapocalyptic stories since he was young and has wanted to tell a story like Your Pal Fred for as long as he can remember. He lives in New Jersey with his wife, two teenage boys, and a dog named Roxy.

Praise for Facts vs. Opinions vs. Robots

Praise for Eat Pete
     "Rex smartly teases out the will-he, won't-he just long enough. . . . Little readers will be briefly flabbergasted and quite giggly. Rex's clean-lined cartoons are beautifully paced. . . . A silly and surprising picture book that will quickly join regular rotation."--Kirkus
     "Readers should enjoy this clever tale from Rex about impulse control and its surprisingly sympathetic monster."--PW

Praise for Goodnight Goon
     "A clever offering just right for graduates of bedtimes with Goodnight Moon."--SLJ
     "Monstrous twist on a classic bedtime tale. . . . A lot of fun, and it may inspire kids to come up with their own retellings of other familiar classics."--BCCB
     "Snort-inducing parody of one of children's literature's most sacred texts. . . . What fun it is."--Kirkus

Praise for With Any Luck, I'll Drive a Truck
     "A wrecking ball to delight kids and destroy boredom. Dream big, kids."--Vanity Fair
     "A refreshing treat. . . . Rex's brightly colored, slightly rounded vehicles strike a kid-friendly balance between realistic and toy-like."--NY Times
     * "A delightful ode to trucks goes above and beyond the usual churning, wrecking, and pounding. . . . Lucky indeed are the kids who get to indulge in this splendid little wish-fulfillment daydream."--Kirkus STAR
     "Cheeky. . . . Full of vehicular action and mechanical details."--PW
