A Sneetch is a Sneetch and Other Philosophical Discoveries

“This is a wonderful book. Written with humor and clarity, it's a primer/refresher on philosophy and ethics. Wartenberg uses children's books to tackle the kinds of profound questions kids ask: is it possible to do nothing? What makes a leopard a leopard and not a dog? How can it be wrong to give someone what they want? The book shows the way to discussions in the realm of ideas with your kids, using their favorite picture books. Good picture books provoke good questions, and then the fun of thinking and talking about all the possible answers.”

—Mordicai Gerstein, Caldecott winning author of The Man Who Walked Between the Towers

"Wartenberg simultaneously shows the philosophical seriousness of children's literature and the childlike wonder of philosophy. Completely convincing and utterly charming."

 —Claudia Mills, Philosophy Department, University of Colorado at Boulder, and award-winning children's book author
