Tusk Tusk by David Mckee
Once elephants came in two colours: black or white. They loved all other creatures - but each set wanted to exterminate the elephants that were not the same as themselves. Peace-loving individuals ran and hid in the deepest jungle, and battle commenced. The war-mongers all succeeded. For a long time it seemed that there were no elephants in the world at all, not of any colour. But then the descendants of the peace-loving ones emerged from the jungle, and by now they were all grey.
This book was one of my favourites as a kid, I simply relished in the gloriousness of a load of elephants battling it out in a bizarre forestIt wasn't until I was a bit older that I recognised the importance of the morality that lay (not so subtly) underneath. -- Oliver Jeffers

A first lesson in tolerance. The illustrations are exceptionally ingenious . . . the colours are especially lovely. * T.E.S. *
