AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Socrates taught that wisdom is being honest and truthful. It's important even when it's hard or scary to be honest. Dishonesty hurts others as well as yourself. Thinking about truth and asking questions is also important in developing wisdom. 

I loved that this was a book about asking questions! What an important concept. Darling picture, cute activities, this is a fun series, but I do think the parents will enjoy reading about Socrates to their kids more than the toddler will want to grab this one. But, awesome to be taught about Socrates at such a young age.
