The whole book is the author traveling with his son and having dialogues about philosophical questions. It made me think of Sophie's World a little but unlike that it feels genuine and not like a textbook with an awkward framing device. It's also not about philosophers, barely any are mentioned.

Though this didn't really teach me anything significant - it is aimed at children after all - it was still super enjoyable. The audiobook has the kids lines read by the actual kid which was cute. And seeing a parent talk seriously about “stupid” kid questions made me happy. I think it'd be a great book for a child but an even greater book for a parent to see how to talk to your children thoughtfully.
