| The Kids' Book of Questions: Revised for the New Century by Workman Publishing Company A teacher's must have |
| I'm a 5th grade teacher and my students love it when we pull the book out and ask a couple questions. They love to share and it helps them learn how to articulate their thoughts and feelings. Some great questions, but I don't use all of them. Some are for older kids. Thought provoking, which the students really love. |

| I teach fifth grade and need prompts for journal writes in the morning. Yes, it's true that not all of the questions are appropriate, especially not at my level, but there are enough that are. It's a huge help and I don't have to keep jotting down journal prompt ideas in my folder anymore. |
| The Kids' Book of Questions: Revised for the New Century by Workman Publishing Company Surprisingly effective |
I would never have purchased this book because I think up mental challenges and have philosophical discussions with my kids all the time. If I saw this book on a shelf I would snobbishly pass it by. Why would I need a list of questions when I do so well on my own?
Fortunately, someone gave me this book as a gift and it turned out to be a big hit. I don't know what it is, maybe my kids are more impressed by questions coming out of an "authoritative" book instead of daddy snatching ideas out of thin air, but they love it.
It really does get my kids' minds going and many times I learn new things about them. Parents who are concerned about inappropriate questions only have to skip those questions. It's no big deal.
Bottom line: This book is a good buy for parents who want to raise children who think.

| The Kids' Book of Questions: Revised for the New Century by Workman Publishing Company Not Appropriate |
| Although intriguing, many of the questions in the book are not appropriate for classroom use. |
| The Kids' Book of Questions: Revised for the New Century by Workman Publishing Company classroom ice breaker |
| I use this book in my classroom with juniors and seniors each semester. I teach a career awareness class and we discuss various topics focused around life in general. My students go around the room and choose a number, I then read that question....some are not appropriate, I have put an "X" over that question and have written another in its place. It was only a few and made for a great ice breaker to get students talking about priorities. |
| The Kids' Book of Questions: Revised for the New Century by Workman Publishing Company Product Description |
Now more than ever, parents are told how important it is to talk meaningfully to their kids. This is the book that makes it happen. A revised and expanded second edition, The Kids' Book of Questions, with 634,000 copies in print, makes it easy to ask hard questions and fun to answer them. Questions to challenge, questions to provoke. Questions to entertain and expand young minds. Questions about right or wrong, about fears and hopes, ethics, religious beliefs, about why parents act the way they do--even about ruling the world.
Updated to include questions on subjects that have arisen since the book's original publication in 1988--from the internet to issues like school violence and terrorism--the book is a sure way to prod young people into discovering who they really are and what they really believe. There are inquiries into values: "If you knew you wouldn't get caught, would you cheat on a test by copying someone else's answers?" Intriguing fantasies: "If you could email any famous person and know they'd read and answer your note, who would you write to and what would you say?" Philosophical queries: "Have you had any personal experiences that lead you to believe in God?" Provocative scenarios: "After being given a truth pill, what would you say if you were asked to describe your family?"
Kids, and parents, will be amazed to find how far one little question will lead. |
