This unbiased approach leads to the development of critical thinking, reforming the previous structure and replacing the best and new thinking. This study contains five children's stories, "Raisin Smiles of a Happy Family", "The Devil on the Pot", "The Cat Has Been Kind", "Pitico ...pitico and Two Other Stories", and "The Lax Mouse " by Farhad Hassanzadeh, who belongs to age group A, B and C, with the aim of introducing and familiarizing the native stories as a tool for critical thinking in the philosophy program for children, this study has been analyzed in a descriptive-analytical way in order to determine the merit of these fictional works to show the perspective of Fabak's program for the teacher in a slow loop and to explore philosophically. The achievement shows that the structure of the researched stories increases the child's judgment and sensitivity to issues, and another trend is to improve the behavior of his fictional characters in improving the children’s mental structure and acquisition, and experience
