"But Why?" is a highly practical resource that gives a clear outline of how to start doing Philosophy for Children(P4C) in the Primary classroom. The author, Sara Stanley, is a full-time teacher, and this shows in the numerous practice-based examples and the obvious understanding of how a creative and successful Primary classroom works. The book is clearly laid out with plenty of activities that can be encorporated into the curriculum to encourage deep thinking.
The book is inspiring, intelligent and practical. It is an essential read for those teachers and parents who are interested in encouraging young children to think about the 'Big Questions'. The author shows readers how children as young as 4 years can imagine, discuss and reason in a creative, challenging and fun way. One of the few educational books that you don't just flick though and put down!

Excellent 'starter pack' for P4C, full of useful ideas for planning and running sessions and practical ideas for activities across the Primary range, wish I'd found it sooner.
