  1. Thinking Trees and Laughing Cats: A Thinking Curriculum for Pre-school Education

  Matthew Lipman

  Thinking Trees and Laughing Cats includes fifty-four stories intended to be used with puppets (even if the story is told by a narrator, the narrator should be a puppet). Each story is preceded by an indication of some key concepts found in it, and is followed by a short list of leading Ideas that correlate to the New Jersey state core curriculum standards for early childhood (ages three to four). Those standards are provided in an appendix to the book, which includes an additional category of standards developed at the Institute for the Advancement of Philosophy for Children for young reasoning, judgment, and creativity. Each story is also followed by philosophical exercises including asking questions, making up stories, drawing pictures, and playing simple games.
