What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

I checked this book out from my elementary school library some time between 1996-1999. The book was rather large, had a hard cover, and was most likely illustrated.

The cover featured two characters who may or may not have been anthropomorphic animals. They were balancing on two separate "towers" facing each other. They had weapons, most likely AK47s or another type of assault rifle, aimed at each other. The plot may have had something to do with an "arms race" (USSR vs USA?, WW2?) and I remember it being darker then your average kids book. It wasn't Dr. Seuss (at least I don't think it was).

I vaguely recall it being part of a large series. I have no idea if it was new at the time nor what the authors name was.

The Butter Battle book The Butter Battle Book

Was this a chapter book or a picture book?

A long shot - Fattypuffs And Thinifers by André Maurois?

Wasn't either of those. It COULD of been a picture book, but it's been so long I can't remember.

Thinking about this a bit more, it strikes me that this may be some kind of graphic novel in the "funny animal" genre. You may want to put a similar post on to a comics forum.

Just shared this over on an Alternate History forum.

One other thing you could try would be to actually contact your school and see if the librarian could locate the book. It's been a long while, but it may still be there. When I was in elementary school back in the '70s our library had a bunch of C.B. Colby books that had been printed well over a decade before.

Found!

Thanks to Codae over at alternate history.com

Thanks for the update Phil.

Did Chris confirm this is the book?

That's the book. But I didn't change it to solved.

That was me. I jumped the gun. Glad you found your book Chris.

That okay.:)
