Is it Because?

Tony Ross’s unnamed victim entertains various possibilities (17 in all) posed in a series of questions to his dog Pepe, as to why Peregrine Ffrogg is bullying him. Each of his plausible theories around insecurity and inadequacy is jokily illustrated in inimitable Ross style. His visual humour and the use of rhyming couplets make it easier to confront what is frequently a very painful and complex issue for both victim and perpetrator.

This is assuredly a book that offers plenty of food for thought and one that will stimulate discussion as well perhaps, as introspection.
