It's Election Day.
Sometimes promises and complaints get tossed back and forth so furiously that it's less like a contest of ideas and more like a pinball game. So let's make one.

Donkeys on the left. Elephants on the right. Flippers. Obstacles. A little tilt.

Michael Morpurgo wrote War Horse, a novel for 9 - 12 year-olds, about a beautiful young horse sold away from his youthful master to serve the troops in the mud and smoke and misery of Europe's first World War. It is this conflict whose end we celebrate on November 11th each year. The novel looks at war through the horse's eyes and follows the determination and love of a young man to be reunited with his beloved horse.
