This fascinating exploration of childrens inquiry -- what it is, how it develops, and how it contributes to childrens learning -- will help teacher educators and elementary teachers to understand, appreciate, and foster childrens inquiry in classrooms. In this volume. Lindfors introduces a theoretical framework for understanding childrens inquiry language -- not as linguistic forms (questions), but as communication acts in which the child brings another into the act of sense-making.
