Media Reviews
'[The Why? titles] could be used as a useful resource to help children express themselves and voice their own opinions.' -- Learning Support Service, Autumn 2002 As timeous as [it is] right for the citizenship market ... Refugee status is an unimaginable experience; this book gives us an inkling of what it's like and thereby does a little to prepare it's readers to extend a wider welcome to forced migrants ... Will supply students with plenty of info-gobbets and contemporary phraseology. -- Books for Keeps 20040701
