`The precise way in which the authors take the reader through the processes of doing research is helpful to anyone embarking on research with children, so EPs in training, who have chosen children as their subjects for research, would find this book helpful.

The ideas are easily accessible. It is clearly structured into sections that make it easy to use as a core text to support a taught programme that covers similar ground' - Teacher Development
