Consumer Kids by Ed Mayo And Agnes Nairn
The first book to expose just how our kids are targeted as consumers and why it matters for us all.Most parents would be shocked by the scale and sophistication of today's marketing to children. This is a landmark book, full of ideas and solutions for reclaiming childhood for children. -- Oliver James, author of They F**k You Up and Affluenza
Anyone concerned with children should read this book. It is fascinating and disturbing at the same time. -- Chris Kelly, Chair of NSPCC
