"This is a somewhat unusual book. You know, David McKee—everybody knows Elmer the Elephant . I chose The Conquerors because it’s a unique way of introducing an important subject. I suppose you could call it the art of gentle persuasion, or how you can peacefully convince someone to see things your way. How old is your daughter? Yes, well, that’s a perfect age for asking questions and reading this book.
