This is a book that everyone should read. Picture books are not just for children. Using the device of a scrap book kept by a working class boy during World War I in Great Britain, the war and its toll on the families and those who fought in the war is demonstrated with pathos and humor. Bringing history vividly to life through the artifacts and the changing attitudes of individuals struggling with war's realities, this is a book to ponder as well as to enjoy.
