Jim and Jules are childhood friends, born on the same day in the same village. All their lives, Jim has been first ― born two minutes before Jules, always faster, always stronger. When the First World War breaks out in Europe, the two young men enlist in the fight with 30,000 other Canadians. On the Front, conditions aren’t epic and glorious but muddy and barbaric. Here, too, Jim is the first to attack. Jules is always two minutes behind: lagging in drills, missing the boat, handed chores instead of honors. On November 11, 1918, Jim and Jules are sent out to fight one last time. Jim, always first over the top of the trench, is shot and dies at 10:58am, two minutes before the Armistice takes effect at 11:00am. Illustrated by political cartoonist and Letters to a Prisoner author Jacques Goldstyn and inspired by true events, this picture book is a simple, poignant, thought-provoking story to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the Armistice in 2018.

At 5.10am on 11th November 1918, an Armistice was signed which would end the First World War at 11am. However, for some unaccountable reason, it was decided by those who make such stupid and insane decisions that the men at the sharp end, the soldiers in the trenches, would not be told and that for them the war was to continue until the very last moment. In the case of the men of the Second Battalion, East Suffolk(Volunteer) Regiment and in particular One Platoon, that meant they had the job of 'straightening' the line opposite them, to satisfy some staff officer who could only draw straight lines on his map. This story is of the last eleven hours of the War, as fought by those men..

When Horace the elephant turns eleven, he celebrates in style by inviting his exotic friends to a splendid costume party.
