Praise for the ThinkAboutIt Series:
I share this organization's innovative materials at my workshops for teachers and parents interested in bringing philosophy to children. I applaud such an enthusiastic effort to honor the promise and natural abilities of child philosophers.
- Marietta McCarty, Author Little Big Minds: Sharing Philosophy with Kids (National Bestseller) How Philosophy Can Save Your Life: 10 Ideas That Matter Most (Nautilus Book Award Winner)
Philosophy for kids is a splendid idea in general-and the ThinkAboutIt books are splendid in particular, not merely as ideas, but splendid in the practice of both words and drawings. The books can open your children's eyes, stretching them to the fascinations of the world, from robots to free choices to the colours of flowers and just what is matter and mind.
- Peter Cave, Author, Do Llamas Fall in Love?: 33 Perplexing Philosophy Puzzles
Hurrah for Amy Leask! She's a genius for writing books for kids about philosophy. She rightly believes that kids are thinkers and are perfectly capable of exploring big ideas. She manages to make philosophy not only approachable, but fun and engaging, for kids. She also has a lot of knowledge about kids' non-fiction books in general and she shared that with us in a lively TVOParents Book Club discussion about non-fiction books. She was able to bring kids' non-fiction to life.
- Cheryl Jackson, Host/Producer, TVO Parents
You know all those big questions kids like to ask? They're a lot of the same questions that great thinkers have been asking for thousands of years, and for good reason!
Keep your kid philosopher's mind humming with Let the Thinking Begin!, a think-y adventure for readers ages 8-12!
Follow the adventures of intrepid kid narrator Sophia the Wise as she:
- Explores all kinds of big questions, as well as lots of possible answers.
- Thinks out loud with fascinating famous brains from throughout history, and around the world.
- Poses kid-friendly thought experiments and explores new and amazing ideas.
- Presents DIY activities and worksheets that give young readers the chance to test big questions themselves.
- Teaches kids that an open mind, a little creativity, and great conversation can help all of us understand ourselves, other people, and the world around us!
Developing vital thinking skills has never been this much fun!
