Summary: A powerful message - especially with the Iraq issue in mind
Review: When I first read this book - I did not really have any knowledge about war. So - to me - it was primarily an inspiration in other realated fields.
Given the situation today - the Book has got a new meaning.Starting at 11.9 and moving up towards todays massive troop-build-up "Helping Young Children Understand Peace, War, and the Nuclear..." has become a must to every teacher.The children today can not sit and watch TV for more than 1\2 hour - before the newsflashes from the televised wars is on the screen.
Most children have a defensemechanism here - and teachers tend to rely on this. As Carlsson-Paige and Levin points out - this does not mean that the child is untouched! The book privides you with a set of ways to respond - to reveal-to deal with this difficult issue. This year I think the book has ben re-released - and updated.
Buy it - and read it !!!!!!
