Rabbit & Squirrel: A Tale of War and Peas

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Scott Magoon. Rabbit and Squirrel blame each other when veggies disappear from their respective gardens. They keep arguing even after they discover the culprit, though the optimistic omniscient narrator hopes, "One of these days, they'll grow tired of fighting." Sure, it's an allegory, but it doesn't hit you over the head due in large part to the amusing olive green–dominated digital art.
