Críticas

"An intimate glimpse of the ways in which the war affected home life even on peaceful shores."

"Too Young to Fight is a beautifully designed work. It is the kind of book that is delightful to hold and turn the beautifully printed manila pages decorated with pictures of the authors as children, letters and other archival material. Thoughtful young people between the ages of 10 and 15 might like to discover this book themselves. Others might find the complex material easier to unlock with the help of a teacher -- or better yet a grandparent, who can add tales of their own. This is a book to value year-round, not just in November. -- The Standard

While any recollection of wartime will be filled with tales of the men who returned without limbs, or without their minds, the autobiographical pieces of Too Young to Fight relate the daily life of children, who, after all are just kids living like kids. --- Books in Canada"
