Books about Careers for Children & Young Adults

A thoroughly revised bibliography titled Career Books for Children and Young Adults is now available on the EMC website. It's a 10 page bibliography organized by type of occupation. Also, for most of the books, the reading level and interest level are given; these levels come from www.titlewave.com. Here's the link:

Philosophy via Children's Picture Books

I recently discovered a wonderful approach to using children's picture books as a means of generating philosophical discussion among children. Thomas Wartenberg at Mount Holyoke College teaches a course on this and has written a book Big Ideas for Little Kids. Check out his website at www.teachingchildrenphilosophy.org.
