I highly recommend this book for any parent who's looking for a way to talk to their children about war in a way that teaches them how much people are alike, not how much they are different. This book teaches that two soldiers who are "enemies" are actually just alike. Not beasts, but humans.
I'd read this to five to eight year olds. Maybe also to a mature four year old. Maybe. Definitely wouldn't want to go much younger than five. There's one page with sketches of dead animals and people. They look kinda like the figure on the front of the book, only with what looks like red ink spills coming out of their sides. I'm not sure a two to three year old would understand and might just take away the images of dead animals/people.
