The causes of war lie in individual selfishness. If we want peace, it has to start with each one of us. Once more Toni Goffe's cartoon illustrations pinpoint the issues precisely. This description may be from another edition of this product.
The wisest, most mature "children's book" you'll ever find
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
"War and Peace" explains violence in simple, poetic terms. It starts off by depicting a minor tiff between a brother and sister, then a whole family, then the family against an outside threat, and then applies the whole thing to the fact that nations go to war. This explanation, unfortunately, does not do the book justice. It is, quite simply, probably the best book you can find to show a child -- maybe even a adult! -- that war is just stupid. The graphics are also quite good and complement the text quite nicely.I've purchased over a dozen copies of this book over the years as gifts. As a former US Army soldier, I can't recommend it enough.
