"Start honing critical thinking skills early with a philosophy curriculum designed for elementary-aged kids. Think you have to wait until high school to dig into Socrates and Sartre? Think again!... Taking subject matter that many might initially find intimidating, White presents philosophy as highly relevant, playful, challenging, and fun. Philosophy for Kids is a thought-provoking resource that will appeal to curious learners who enjoy puzzling over life's mysteries. As a parent, you are likely to gain new insight into the wonderful ways that your child views the world as you delve into fascinating new subject matter together." - Rebecca Pickens, home/school/life magazine, 3/10/16

    This delivery was earliest date! Condition, value, quality - all as described. (My mistake was not requiring the publishing date to be 1958. This was 1977.) This IS a Viking Portable Library copy of Dante's Divine Comedy in English, translated by Laurence Binyon, but it is with a cover DIFFERENT from what was shown. The tracking number was listed as from "UPS", but should have been listed as from "USPS." Contact with this seller alleviated tracking issues. I recommend this seller! Thank you!
