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.
