A picture book, oversized, about little orange and yellow Moomin-esque creatures waging war with WWII weaponry and helmets (I think there were some WWI tanks and biplanes as well). Um, that's all I remember. Does that sound familiar to anyone?

No. Sorry. A book about two sisters who both take ballet lessons. The older one looks straight ahead on the bus. The younger one looks all around.

Zip, sorry. Any idea who they were waging war against?

Against each other. Yellow vs orange. One side was wearing Bristish uniforms, the civilians wore 40s fashion. They were very small (planes were swooping down from trees etc) and there were no humans at all in it as far as i can remember.

Annoying... it rings a teeny tiny faint little bell, like a windchime in a room on the other side of the house...

Sounds great, but I can't help you.

Are you sure it wasn't a dream?

The description makes me think of Richard Scarry, for some reason. But I don't think he did an entire book like this.

Were there any pictures of a hairy beret-wearing gorilla absconding with black market bananas through no-man's land?
