5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book on Peace!, January 18, 2002

By A Customer

I used this book to tie up the values and ideas that Martin Luther King Jr. represented. The students then painted pictures of peaceful situations. This led to a discussion about peace. A boy from Eritrea said that Ethiopians were bad and didn't want to be peaceful. He was shocked when he learned that one of his best friends in the class was Ethiopian. He learned that some Ethiopians are good and peaceful. I as an American, apologized to a Vietnamese student and pledged peace as he swore to be peaceful also. Other students were surprized that the US and Vietnam had fought. We learned a lot about peace from this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars this is no a book for children, , September 14, 2007

By	Stella in (Manhattan,NYC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A book NO for children, full of distubing illustrations .
World is FUll of beauty, art , music, ideas, and more,that is the real world that children need to know about.
Wars,plagues, fake intellectuals and the so , fly around us for thousand of years.That IS too a real world.
Make disturbing illustrations for a children book, surely give prizes and fame to illustrators but do not make chidren lifes any better
And a thousand flies around something do not means that 'something'is good.Critics and fake intellectuals are anytime flying around something.
