The False Dilemma: Sparkle or Swamp? 🧹🤔

Something is very wrong in the cave of the Terrible Trio! Grumblegut the Ogre, Trolla the Troll, and Snotbeard the Giant are not happy—their cave is a total disaster! 🤯

Grumblegut declares they only have two choices: either scrub the cave until it sparkles like a fairy's teapot, or move forever to the gross Sludgebrook Swamps! 🧚‍♀️🤢 The Trio spends the whole day arguing about why both choices are so terrible! They can't imagine a clean cave and they definitely don't want to live in a swamp.

But when Wizzlethorp the Wizard stops by, he tells them they've fallen into a "False Dilemma"! What does that mean? And can he help the Terrible Trio realize they have more than just two awful choices? 🤔

Join our monster friends in a hilarious and messy adventure about problem-solving and finding a "just right" solution!

After the story, we'll be joined again by Stephanie Simoes from Critikid.com! She'll help us understand another logical fallacy, called a False Dilemma – just like the one Grumblegut gave the Terrible Trio! 🤔

Sir Rex Grandshield's Wacky Advice! 🐸✨

The Glugging Gargoyle Tavern is buzzing! Sir Chucklenugget has a visitor: his cousin, the incredibly dashing and famous Sir Reginald 'Rex' Grandshield! 👑 Rex is known for defeating the legendary Bone Dragon, and everyone in Snaggleton is totally impressed! 🤩

Because Sir Rex is so brave and cool, all the Snaggletonians start asking him for advice on EVERYTHING! Sir Chucklenugget asks about squeaky drawbridges, Snotbeard wants tips for smashing rocks, Sparky needs help with her inventions, and Granny Gigglesnort asks for a secret potion ingredient! 🧪

Sir Rex has very interesting advice: troll slime for drawbridges, singing to rocks, and even ogre's dandruff for flying potions! 🤣 Everyone believes him because he's so famous... well, almost everyone! Stanky, Granny's patchwork assistant, has a funny feeling about it. 🤔

When Granny brews a new flying potion with Sir Rex's "secret" ingredient, something totally unexpected happens! 🐸 Everyone who drinks it turns into... FROGS! 😱 Croak! Croak!

Can Stanky, with Granny's help (and some gross ingredients!), brew an antidote to turn everyone back? And what important lesson will the Snaggletonians learn about believing advice just because someone is famous?

After the story, we'll be joined again by Stephanie Simoes from Critikid.com! She'll help us understand another logical fallacy, called Appeal to Authority – just like what happened when the Snaggletonians believed Sir Rex's wacky advice! Starring:
