It is World War I and Johnny's father, an expert wood carver and
toymaker enlists.  With every letter his father sends back enclosed
is a newly carved soldier.  Johnny acts out battles with his ever-
growing collection of soldiers and begins to believe what happens
with his toys is somehow connected to what is happening on the
front.  Through letters from his father the reader learns about the
harsh realities of World War I.  This 212 page book is an excellent
piece of historical fiction.
