Title: 20 years later, still traumatized
Product review: My third grade teacher read us this book, back in 1990. Sitting on the carpet in a circle around her, we all cried our eyes out. I have never again read or even seen this book, but can still remember enough of the horrible details to cringe and tear up. I cannot imagine why anyone would subject a child to something like this. I guess it's supposed to be an anti-war message, but basically what I got out of it was that humans are awful, awful creatures, and I haven't really been able to shake that feeling since. So thanks a lot, Yukio Tsuchiya!!!
