Theory, meanwhile, has invested in children's classics, especially Lewis Carroll's Alice books, and has also developed a literature for beginners that resembles children's literature in significant ways. Offering a novel take on this phenomenon,\u003ci\u003e Theory for Beginners\u003c\/i\u003e explores how philosophy and theory draw on children's literature and have even come to resemble it in their strategies for cultivating the child and\/or the beginner. Examining everything from the rise of French Theory in the United States to the crucial pedagogies offered in children's picture books, from Alison Bechdel's graphic memoir \u003ci\u003eAre You My Mother? \u003c\/i\u003eand Lemony Snicket's \u003ci\u003eA Series of Unfortunate Events\u003c\/i\u003e to studies of queer childhood, Kenneth B. Kidd deftly reveals the way in which children may learn from philosophy and vice versa.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e: Children's Literature Otherwise   1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1.\u003c\/b\u003e Philosophy for Children   25\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2.\u003c\/b\u003e Theory for Beginners   58\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3.\u003c\/b\u003e Literature for Minors   92\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/i\u003e   135\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes\u003c\/i\u003e   137\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eWorks Cited\u003c\/i\u003e   163\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e   185\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580426154264,"sku":"9780823289592","price":72.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/theory-for-beginners-childrens-literature-as-critical-thought-hardback-9780823289592","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
