The book Tusk Tusk by David McKee actively denounces the issues of racism and violence. I really enjoyed reading this book and would highly recommend reading it to younger children. When David McKee wrote Tusk Tusk, a political fable on racial war, he was talking from the viewpoint of a second-half-of-the-twentieth-century-man with the heritage of post-war pacifism and awareness of social conflicts.

A simple, but effective fable of white and black elephants who love all creatures, but hate each other -- so decide to kill each other. The peace-loving elephants run off into the jungle and the other elephants kill each other. For years there are no elephants in the world. Then one day the grey grandchildren of the peace-loving elephants emerge to live peacefully together. Ends on the note: "But recently the little ears and the big ears have been giving each other strange looks." ( )
