Children’s Book of Philosophy

What is real, what is fair and what makes a friend a friend: the questions philosophers ask turn out to be questions children ask first. Big ideas about knowledge, ethics and existence are introduced through short explanations, illustrated examples and prompts that invite a child to argue back. Activities and reflection points break up the reading, so the book works as a conversation starter for a family or a classroom rather than something absorbed silently. Worth noting: • Questions about truth, fairness, friendship and reality • Colour artwork that gives abstract ideas a concrete form • Prompts and activities that encourage children to reason aloud • Written so an adult can read along and join the discussion Made for curious children, parents and teachers, published by DK Publishing and available at Boipoka.
