An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments is a project aimed at teaching newcomers to the field of critical thinking, particularly younger ones, the importance of logical reasoning using a novel approach. It covers a small set of common errors in reasoning that visualizes them using memorable illustrations that are supplemented with lots of examples. The illustrations are partly inspired by allegories such as Orwell's Animal Farm and partly by the humorous nonsense of works such as Lewis Carroll's stories and poems.

“A wonderfully digestible summary of the pitfalls and techniques of argumentation. I can't think of a better way to be taught or re-introduced to these fundamental notions of logical discourse. A delightful little book.”
