A picture book about war that makes children laugh!

Description

“Gentlemen! Nobody cries in this war, so it’s difficult to determine a victory!”

This is a unique picture book!

Even though it’s about war, it makes children laugh with every turn of the page!

They laugh so hard their stomachs hurt.
 
No need to worry, mom and dad. It has a very poignant ending that will surprise you.

 
Without further ado, here is a summary!

One night, the protagonist starts to play war, but it isn’t any ordinary war!

“Gentlemen, if you make your enemy laugh, you win!”  

That’s right. There’s only one rule in this war. Making your enemy laugh ensures victory. War tactics include attacks with “poop missiles” and “tickle machine guns.” So, what was the outcome!?

 

Isn’t this a better way to deal with tough times?

This deep, historical and utterly annoying picture book will change your perspective!

From the editor "Kisshie"

 

The title will likely startle you at first glance, but please remain calm! The message in this book is not at all one of violence. On the contrary, if the type of war you see in this book came true, it would probably make the entire world laugh. When this story is read to children, they giggle so hard their stomachs hurt. If you’re wondering what on earth could be that funny, take a look for yourself!
