There was once a powerful country ruled by a General who decided to conquer all his neighbours, and rule as much as he could. This plan worked, until there was only one small jovial country left. When the soldiers went there to subjugate them, they were persuaded out of their uniforms, into the taverns, and onto the dance floors. However many times they were sent home and replaced by new recruits, every soldier was suborned; and the returning military brought with them the traditions and music of the conquered nation. Just who has conquered whom? David McKee has once again produced an outstanding picture booku poignant and thought- provoking. This wise and philosophical attack on global might is a worthy successor to TWO MONSTERS which won the very prestigious German Children's Book Prize, and is ideal for family and classroom discussion on bullying, war and integration. A very timely and important story to demonstrate that the winner in a war is not necessarily the powerful and aggressive one.
