Big Ideas For Little Kids: Teaching Philosophy Through Children's Literature

Big Ideas for Little Kids includes everything a teacher, a parent, or a college student needs to teach philosophy to elementary school children from picture books. Written in a clear and accessible style, the book explains why it is important to allow young children access to philosophy during primary-school education. Wartenberg also gives advice on how to construct a "learner-centered" classroom, in which children discuss philosophical issues with one another as they respond to open-ended questions by saying whether they agree or disagree with what others have said. 9781475804454 1475804458 0 Children's literature NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=_OUUnwEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
