SG: It has very wise thoughts that make you think. It teaches philosophy in a very good way to people who do not understand it well. It also teaches you about famous philosophers. Written by boy age 9.

Saurabh Das: Standard education overlooks the need to start the concepts of philosophy by unpacking the wisdom of the greats. This book does it in a very fun way for kids. Only point i would like to highlight is that it skips all Indian philosophers. Wish they had included atleast one or two like Shankaracharya, Vivekananda or Krishnamurti

Gracenjoy1: Picked up this book after reading a recommendation from a parenting group. Read one philosopher per night with my 9 year old son, who picked up on the lessons easily. After finishing the book, the lightbulb went off in my son’s head - “So that’s why you and Dad have us do things - so we learn how to do things ourselves!” Highly recommend.

LDenely: I do like this book. I am giving it 3 stars because it is not as good as I hoped it would be. It's a bit light on philosophy and a bit heavy on what seems like a world-view, held by the author(s), that is a bit harsh on adult life. You may want to screen this book before letting your kid read it, especially if they are sensitive or prone to getting depressed about the prospect of adulthood. The history pieces are not as entertaining for kids as I hoped. I would have preferred more bits like Androcles and the Lion. And the links between philosophers and the ideas presented are not 100% accurate but more a light approximation. However, many of the ideas "explored" ("addressed" more than "explored," hence not very philosophical) are interesting and good ones for kids 8-14 to be thinking about. The book disappointingly gives answers more than raises questions for kids to think over. Still, I would recommend this book as a primer for parents who want to have meaningful conversations with their kids about life in general: problems they may encounter now and in the future like bullies, parental divorce, career goals, marriage. In other words, a parent could mine the book for ideas to...

Mammanyc53: This book opened our eyes to the wonders of human behavior. We enjoy reading a chapter a night. The discussion that ensues is unlike that from any other book we’ve read as a family. Through this book, we’ve discovered the root of struggles, the causes behind feelings and behaviors - good and bad - and have been moved to a heightened awareness of our actions and how they might impact others. This is an essential read for anyone, transformational for adults and children alike. My older son gave up screen time after the first chapter, my younger found an interior determination to work harder in school, and my husband and I are becoming better and more understanding better. I’m sure this will remain a staple in our evening rotation. I’d give it ten stars if I could.

Eugene R. Conway: Most kids are in a hurry to grow up. The short passages on a variety of topics are ideal for smoothing out their road to wisdom. My granddaughter already considers this one of her reference books. I suggest parents read it too.
