A perfect way to start "The Conversation" on atomic war,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bomb and the General (Library Binding)
This is a gentle first intoduction to the dreaded but inevitable talk in which a parent must reveal the realities of living in an age of nuclear weaponry. The illustrations and text are so superb that they are appropriate for any age, but do a particularly good job of introducing younger children to the dynamics of war. At the same time, the joyful ending makes it highly readable. It's made the top of my gift list.

They way children should learn the atomic war,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bomb and the General (Library Binding)
It's hard for a child to imagine the consequences of an atomic war. But not so hard if it has a happy end.
In "The Bomb and the General", the beautiful texts by Umberto Eco and Carmi's fantastic ilustrations teach what should be learn by everyone about wars: its better to have doormen than crazy generals, and vases than bombs.
4.0 out of 5 stars
This book is The Bomb,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Bomb and the General (Hardcover)
Hardly a child's book, but one worth reading with kids under the right circumstances. I would certainly use this with middle school students in my history class.
