(4) K-3 Illustrated by Serge Bloch. A battlefield soldier is convinced that a hole in the ground near his own harbors something inhuman. In the end he realizes that his "enemy" may be just like him. This purposeful allegory's message will resonate more with adults than children, but it could be useful as a discussion starter. The spare cartoon drawings are a good match for the stark text.
