"Reading Zone, https: //www.readingzone.com/books/what-is-war/ ""Another fascinating [non-fiction] book from Button Books and Eduard Altarriba. What is War? holds the answers to many questions regarding the origins, reasons and consequences of war. It takes what could be a frightening and worrying topic for children and clearly and calmly expands and unpicks the different questions they are most likely to have. Throughout the book, there is a liberal use of stylish images to engage and appeal to the reader - with a black, white and red colour scheme for the text, the effect is bold, modern and fresh...It's a very powerful book - so interesting and informative, with time also taken to provide an excellent glossary, and written with each word carefully considered to give the reader a true understanding of all that they read."" Red Reading Hub https: //redreadinghub.blog/2023/04/20/migrants-what-is-war/ ""Both of these books are, sadly, hugely topical right now. In Migrants, this sometimes emotive subject is explored in a matter of fact [way]...The author covers the topic thoroughly yet succinctly, posing questions and answering them, progressing logically from one explanation to the next...The same is true of What Is War? which is equally well-designed and illustrated...I would strongly recommend adding both titles to upper primary class collections."""
