Philosophy for children? Is it possible? Yes!!! This endearing book takes you for a ride with the bird and the elephant. They discuss several topics. The bird doesn't agree with the elephant. As they discussed their different topics the bird sees the elephant's thoughts.The bird is written in poetry which makes it all the more fun to read and ponder their thoughts. The book is geared for children but I think it is perfect for anyone to read from children to adults.Disclaimer: I received an arc of this book free from the author/publisher from Netgalley. I was not obliged to write a favorable review, or even any review at all. The opinions expressed are strictly my own.
Endearing and honest, a true delight- a smart tale of wisdom, from darkness thru light!The life lessons in this book are creatively crafted into a genuine feel-good story for all ages. :)
I was really impressed with this book. It makes you think, and the "discussion poetry" is well written and enjoyable. I like the artwork as well. I'm not sure what the author means by "young," though. I tried it with a couple of different ages - and it was a little hard for several different age groups to grasp the concept at first. But they did enjoy the discussions that arose from the story and asked me to read it several times to them. After a couple of weeks, they started asking some really great questions as well, things they learned from this book.
