Weapons of Mass Instruction: Anti-War Books for Young People.
http://www.sol-plus.net/peace.htm#Lists
2003 Ages: 3-Adult

This list was built from the contributions of librarians, educators, parents, and young readers. Scope: With few exceptions, every book in the English-language portion of this list involves war or its consequences. Much as we love many of the great children's books that address themes such as bullying and conflict resolution, we shaped this list around themes of war as waged by nations and other large violent groups. The most frequent exceptions are found among books for very young readers. Such books often deal with war through metaphors and parables; we feel there are many titles for this age group that, though not explicitly about war, are entirely consonant with the thrust of this list. Includes some Spanish titles, and four age ranges. List is not annotated.
