This book is full of the very best surprises. As someone interested in helping adults to engage with the language of philosophy in social and educational research I can think of no better introduction to philosophical inquiry for young children. The accessible text brilliantly weaves together model examples of children#146;s developing literacies with the work of professional philosophers, opening a rich space for readers to develop their own dialogically structured inquiries. Its challenging pedagogies for learning in the classroom reflect an array of ideas, models, structures and resources that can be used to guide young children in their philosophising about the world. Each chapter is concluded with excellent suggestions for further reading. I only wish such a book had been available when I was at school.
