My wife asked for my response to this book. In a word: it is wonderful! The text provides probing questions and issues in words and images appropriate for children. The theme is "how do we know what is true?" There is no overall story; each pair of facing pages presents a situation and questions related to it. On the left pages, are illustrations, vivid and energetic. They iłlustrate the situation effectively. On the right page, the text explains the situation and asks relevant questions. What is True? encourages a questioning and open attitude. I recommend it highly. It is probably too sophisticated for preschoolers, but children in the early grades would surely enjoy it.
