Ceci n'est pas une pipe

I volunteered in Jordan's classroom today.  The lesson was about nouns.  After reciting that a noun is a "person, place, or thing," they were talking about, for example, a book.  Jordan's friend Theo said:  "Is a book a noun, or is the word book a noun?"  Wow.

Also overheard:  "But everything is a thing."  Well, yes, when you put it that way.

Is a book a thing, or is the word book a thing?

Is this not a pipe, or is the word this not a pipe? Because... I already knew that.
