I highly recommend this book if you interested in starting out with philosophy for children... it is really easy to read and provides a good balance of theory and practice. Lots of ideas to pick up and use immediately. It is a book I shall return to again and again.

Highly recommended,
By KatieD (Bedfordshire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teaching Thinking: Philosophical Enquiry in the Classroom (Paperback)
Having consumed a lot of books during my PGCE year and not been moved to recommend very many, this is one of the few that I found really well written, thought provoking and full of great ideas. It is a book I will be going back to again and again.
