Green Lizards Vs Red Rectangles

Hodder Children’s Books, hardback, £11.99

The Green Lizards and Red Rectangles are at war with each other, and the conflict only intensifies when one lizard asks why they are fighting. Finally, exhausted by war, they call a truce and find a way of living together in harmony.

A strange yet effective story introducing young children to the concept of war, and a surreal take on David McKee’s Tusk Tusk, in which black-and-white elephants are constantly at war until they find peace in love and greyness.
