{"product_id":"theory-for-beginners-childrens-literature-as-critical-thought-9780823289608","title":"Theory for Beginners: Children's Literature as Critical Thought","description":"Since its inception in the 1970s, the Philosophy for Children movement (P4C) has affirmed children's literature as important philosophical work. Theory, meanwhile, has invested in children's classics, especially Lewis Carroll's Alice books, and has also developed a literature for beginners that resembles children's literature in significant ways. Offering a novel take on this phenomenon, \u003ci\u003e Theory for Beginners\u003c\/i\u003e explores how philosophy and theory draw on children's literature and have even come to resemble it in their strategies for cultivating the child and\/or the beginner. Examining everything from the rise of French Theory in the United States to the crucial pedagogies offered in children's picture books, from Alison Bechdel's graphic memoir \u003ci\u003eAre You My Mother? \u003c\/i\u003eand Lemony Snicket's \u003ci\u003eA Series of Unfortunate Events\u003c\/i\u003e to studies of queer childhood, Kenneth B. Kidd deftly reveals the way in which children may learn from philosophy and vice versa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12531801\"\u003eKenneth B.
