Aw man, I grew up listening to this book as a little kid and I absolutely loved it! It's such a cute little ridiculous story that is written in such a way that you start to feel like it's a documentary. Still holds up - such a fun goofy story.

A great book that awakened my social conscience when I was a kid. Then after a while my social conscience rolled over and went back to sleep, only to wake intermittently.

I recently re-read this - great book for kids (and adults) to understand how wars happen. War is a difficult thing to discuss with children, as at least mine are really sensitive to death and injury - this book makes all that so much easier to tackle.
