This is a great book. Own it. Read it to my daughter. But it is also fun to make up your own words. "Peace is a green man with a spider on his head."

We picked up a few children's books this week at the library having to do with peace....i figured that the topic of 9/11 would come up in school, and thought this was the tactic i wanted to take at our house when discussing the attack and the subsequent war.....my children are very young, and i was really surprised and thrown off-balance last year with the pro-war propaganda my 1st grade son was given by his teacher....decided to be more proactive about it this year and discuss it on my own terms.
