This is a story of two boys playing all kind of games where there once was a war. They even played soldiers until their grandpa made them stop. When he made them stop he brought them a marble and told them this was a better game. ( )

In this book it was interesting to see two young boys playing on a field where there was once a war. It was nice to see that they had some knowledge of the war due to their grandpas’ stories. This would create a great activity to do with a class by letting them interview someone who was in a war or someone who lived during the time of a war. Also the teacher could take her class on a field trip to the Chalmette Battle Field when they reenact the Battle of New Orleans. ( )
