Anyone else's parents read this delightful bit of anti-war propaganda to them as children? I remember reading it and thinking "wow, war is so futile." My opinion really hasn't changed since then.
Great stuff, and some excellent nostalgic recs in this thread. If you're interested in filling up the shelf with some more contemporary (but excellent) picture books, I recommend...
Drummer Hoff
This was one of my most favorite books as a child. I can't find it at any of the local used book stores and I'd love to have it again to relive my childhood joy!
Simpsons Season 13 - 15.49, prime, highest priority
Drummer Hoff - 14.84, prime, high priority
Atlas Shrugged Part 1 and Atlas Shrugged Part 2 - 8.06 and 10.04, both prime, high priority
total 48.47

Yoko by Rosemary Wells
No David! by David Shannon
Kitten's First Full Moon by Kevin Henkes
Bark, George by Jules Feiffer
The Whole Pigeon Series by Mo Willems (board book sets are readily available if I'm not mistaken)
Little Hoot by Amy Krouse Rosenthal (I like her book Little Pea as well)
And two of my own nostalgia picks that I haven't seen mentioned but that really stuck with me through the years:
Drummer Hoff by Barbara and Ed Emberley
Millions of Cats by Wanda Gag
Mine was Drummer Hoff (Fired it Off)
