NNFN2023: What is philosophy?

Day 14 of NNFN2023 and today’s review is for something a little bit different! ‘What is philosophy?’ is the first in a series of books which seeks to explain ‘big’ ideas to young children. The first spread poses the question ‘What is philosophy?’, explaining how to pronounce it as well as offering a definition. The page then also serves as a contents page, asking some BIG questions and giving the number of the page where possible answers are offered.

Each spread is devoted to one of these questions, offering a range of possible answers. Many of the pictures show settings which little children are familiar with- the classroom, library, playground- making it easy for them to better relate to and understand each one.

Little ones love to ask endless questions, seeking answers to help them make sense of the world, the people and places in it, and this little book is full of questions with possible answers to help support them with this- and to help the adults in their lives who might not always feel they have the ‘right’ responses!
