Recenzje

"[This book]’s accessible and thorough analysis of the discourse around the statuses of being a child and being a pet provides an essential understanding of how these discourses developed and their real-world impact. This volume is a crucial contribution to current work on children, childhood studies, and animals." --Amy Ratelle, University of Toronto, Canada
