Question Mark introduces young children to the three central philosophical skills of questioning, doubting, and being certain. The focus is on asking questions: about who we are, about reality, and about certainty. In the story, Mark helps a shadow-rabbit escape from a dog named Dogma, who is trying to eliminate uncertainty once and for all, but this leads to the fundamental question: Can we know anything for certain?4 GradesSku: 9780898242928
