Mohr Lone (Univ. of Washington) presents both an argument for and description of how to raise children who are philosophically aware. The book includes ample examples of discussions, sometimes led or inspired by children's literature, which will allow parents to engage with children. Throughout, Mohr Lone explicitly draws on the work of the late Gareth Matthews and the late Matthew Lipman, in addition to recent work by Thomas Wartenberg (Mt. Holyoke) and others in the philosophy for children movements. The first two and the last chapters nicely lay out for the uninitiated why philosophy is a key component of raising children who become critical and engaged thinkers; the middle four chapters provide background on some branches of philosophy. Among these "content" chapters the discussion of aesthetics, a generally overlooked aspect of philosophical reflection, is especially welcome. Though the book is aimed at parents, it also could be easily adapted for use in educational settings, and would be of interest to developmental psychologists.
