4.0

It all boils down to the fact that 'One can no more think like a baby than one can think like a bee.'

An imaginative and inventive investigation into what makes children's minds seems so strange and alien to adults. What if that strangeness was preserved and not smoothed into "adulthood", "reason" and "common sense"? All it takes is a small fictional device and the story's two children are never shoehorned into our plain common reality with its common restrains and rules.
