Polyp's new graphic novel is a great introduction to the co-operative movement. A good read for those people who might have thought co-operatives began and ended with the supermarket of the same name. Using the graphic novel format Polyp tracks the many different strands of co-operation, from the 19th century to the present day and beyond!

This is a subject close to my heart as I think the Rochdale Pioneers are unsung heros and people don't realise what they did for our society. This book remedies that.
I gives quite a detailed background, in pictures, of what made it necessary for those men to bring about a revolution. But it was a quiet and peaceful, and very successful revolution. I think every school in the United Kingdom should put this book on their curriculum. They should have multiple copies in their libraries. Child friendly, but not childish.

This book was quite a wonderful surprise. I knew of the Co-Operative, of course, having shopped there every now and then, but knew nothing of how it had come about. I was also surprised to see that the circumstances that brought about the start of the Co-Operative are in many ways similar to the ones we're experiencing in this day and age. Read it and get your children to read it too - I feel it's important to let them know that it's possible to fight back in a constructive way, such as this one.
