I had fun asking the questions to my grandkids.. They did a lot of thinking. Great book.
Good fun for kids. I had an adult one that my grandchildren just loved. This one os more age appropriate for teens and kids. It can be used on long trips in the car. Kids can use it with each other . But the best is if you share it with the kidas you find you are actually TALKING and finding out what they think . This book is great , I would recommend it to families .You can even use it as a party game have fun.
For teachers:
In this day of standards driven classrooms, is there room for children to thoughtfully reflect on their values? I think so, and it can be achieved without disrupting the focus on basics. Let's write journal entries on some of these intriquing, engaging questions about things that matter to children (and to us as well).
For parents:
I used these in the car on long drives, and we listened carefully as each member of the family gave an answer (or "passed") to a question. The youngest child read the questions aloud and sometimes we spent some time thinking--except for the questions that set off a flurry of silly, fond, or anxious memories.
There's a lot between the covers because our children have a lot between their ears.
