Little philosophers, big ideas - encouraging children to think through texts: Philosophising with using suitable texts

Children have a vivid imagination; we all know that. But what can we adults do to give children the opportunity to let their imagination flourish? Above all, we should allow them to ask questions. Children's questions can be wide-ranging, but above all, they are honest. We adults are expected to guide children as they seek answers and to encourage them to think further. What's the deal with time, anyway? Who invented it? And why am I actually me and you're you? This book aims to provide inspiration for working with children and to explore various themes covered by children's questions. Above all, it focuses on working with the medium of text and presents examples using picture books, children's books, fairy tales, fables and poems.
