Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Recommended Resources Philosophy books for 9yo

DD9 has always been pretty interested in philosophical/nature of existence issues and has really been on a kick with it recently--how do we know what the true nature of reality is, why am I me and not someone else, where would I be if I had never been born, etc.

Any recommendations for kids' philosophy books that are fun and interesting and speak to some of this? She's MG, probably topping out around a 7th-9th grade reading level, so nothing adult yet.

One that might be at the low end of her reading level is Lotus and the Golden Pearl. You could also look into the Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet. Finally, there's a book called Sophie's World that might be somewhat above her level (it's technically an adult book but with a young protagonist), but you may be able to make it work as a read-aloud.
