Thanks to everyone who responded to my request for a book about two
islands that go to war. (The original message is below). According to my
father (the patron in this instance), the correct suggestion is The Sea
People by Jorg Muller. Other books suggested on this theme are The Two
Islands by Ivan Gantschev and The Butter Battle Book by Dr. Seuss.
Stumper: My father is looking for a book that he remembers reading to my
brother,
so it was probably published no later than 1989. It is a large format
illustrated book about two islands that exist side by side. Each island
is depicted on its own page opposite the other. There is a dispute and
the two islands go to war. You see them exchanging cannon shots at each
other, and as you turn the pages, you see the islands being destroyed.
Eventually, they make peace, and you watch the islands rebuild their
communties.
