Picture books for P4C

Here are just a few of my favourite picture books that provide a great stimulus for P4C:

• Beegu by Alexis Deacon (ages 3 – 8; concepts include difference, belonging, childhood)

• I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen (ages 3 – 8; concepts include stealing, revenge, happiness)

• The Tin Forest by H Ward & W Anderson (ages 6 – 8; concepts include imagination, nature, dreams)

• War and Peas by Michael Foreman (ages 6 – 9; concepts include food, hunger, peace… this is a funny book despite covering big issues)

• The Island by Armin Greder (age 10+; concepts include strangers, cruelty, responsibility… a serious book, brilliantly written and illustrated)
