One Comment
The title of this book evokes comments even before the poem is read. Is war ever a good idea? Children will want to discuss the topic prior to reading the book. Afterwards the students will want to respond to questions like – before we read the book, what did you think it would be about? Now we have read it, what do you think it is about?
