1.0 out of 5 stars
A disappointment,
By A Customer
This review is from: Socrates for Kids (Hardcover)
The font was extremely difficult to read. The topics covered do not adequately represent even the major areas of philosophy. Assuming the reader survives the eye straining font, he or she might walk away with the impression that Socrates' ideas are all about secular humanism and modern liberalism. Included in this book are discussions of Zen Buddhism, being kind to trees, and the hackneyed "diversity is good."

Philosophy in the real world,
By Frederick Thompson (Evanston, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Socrates for Kids (Paperback)
When my 11 year old son brought home his sixrg grade "suggested reading" kust, this book was one of the recommenfations. We could not agree more with that choice after having gone through the creative stories within which the rich ideas of several philosophies have neen woven and clearly explained. This is a book that one comes back to in order to answer everyday questions and solve daily problems. This book should be read by evry 11 year old, as well as by their parents.

New ideas for children,
By Derek Consul (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Socrates for Kids (Paperback)
This book fills a void between original children's stories and the ideas that hold them tohethedr. It is a great learning experience for children who, for the most part, have never been exposed to the rich ideas of philsophy and can now relate to these concepts through storoes that they can enjoy reading and retelling.
