1 A reference in chapter 6 to 66 children interviewed in focus groups or face-to-face fails to clarify whether this was the total number.Google Scholar

2 The book reprints the Convention on the Rights of the Child as an appendix; as the Convention is widely available, an index would have been a better use of space. Although the table of contents is fairly detailed, one cannot easily locate a particular passage or subtopic without an index.Google Scholar

3 Of course, it is only fair to acknowledge that many in the US give similar lip service to the importance of children, while permitting 23% of US children to live in poverty. Conflicts between expressed values and practice are not the sole province of developing countries.Google Scholar
