 Note: This is not a book for young children! 
Characters in this novel do TRY to write and illustrate "kids books", but their experience (direct or indirect) with the mechanized mass murder of the NAZI Holocaust warps such efforts in ways that are not appropriate for early readers.

But if you (as a responsible adult) do insist. . .
