Waterloo & Trafalgar

(3) K-3 This wordless book featuring a couple of acrimonious fuddy-duddies (each named for a famous battle) has a terrific pacifist message. Separated by brick walls, the men misunderstand, yell at, annoy, and are about to shoot each other when a bird (of peace) intercedes. The cartoony vignettes depict a couple of slapstick types differentiated only by wardrobe color and facial hair.
