Thanks for your work preparing these materials. Sending the link to my son. Philosophy is not included in his curriculum at all.

If your son is 7 to 12 years old and you want to get him started thinking about philosophy, I'd highly recommend he read these three books:

Harry Stottlemeier's Discovery (free PDF at the top right of this page: https://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED103298)

Sophie's World: https://www.amazon.com/Sophies-World-History-Philosophy-Clas...

The Fallacy Detective: https://www.amazon.com/Fallacy-Detective-Thirty-Eight-Recogn...

These books would provide a better introduction to philosophy in general, than reading about random topics in philosophy.

Thanks a lot. He is 12. I got books and will try to propose for him. But your comic-like website works better :)
