The parade of increasingly elaborate (and ridiculous) armaments makes a telling point."-- Booklist., "Dr. Seuss chronicles the feud between the Yooks and the Zooks from slingshots through sophisticated weaponry, until each side has the capacity to destroy the world.

SynopsisIn this classic cautionary tale about respecting differences, Dr. Seuss shows how a small--and in this case, very silly--disagreement can escalate into a big problem. "But we Yooks, as you know, when we breakfast or sup, spread our bread," Grandpa said, "with the butter side up." The Yooks and Zooks share a love of buttered bread, but animosity brews between the two groups because they enjoy the tasty treat differently. One prefers the butter side up, the other prefers the butter side down. How far will each side go to prove they're right? The timeless and topical rhyming text is an ideal way to teach young children about respect and conflict resolution. Whether in the home or in the classroom, The Butter Battle Book is a must-have for readers of all ages., The Butter Battle Book, Dr. Seuss's classic cautionary tale, introduces readers to the important lesson of respecting differences. The Yooks and Zooks share a love of buttered bread, but animosity brews between the two groups because they prefer to enjoy the tasty treat differently. The timeless and topical rhyming text is an ideal way to teach young children about the issues of tolerance and respect. Whether in the home or in the classroom, The Butter Battle Book is a must-have for readers of all ages.

  • Wacky Dr Seuss

    I like “The Butter Battle Book” and “The Sneetches”. I laughed and smiled and laughed. I’m 60 years old. I don’t really recommend these two in particular for children under 15 because seems too big an issue for the younger ones. I suppose anyone with a nip under their nose would find it very amusing. Just saying. A funny book. Better than a lot of junky books out their.

  • Scary but true and well told:

    Studying Dr. Seuss since he has passed away. I learned about it in a documentary about his life and how parents complained that he frightened their children during the Cold War. It was well written but better for adults, or obsolete children as he called us.

  • a good title to emphasize how stupid war is.

    I bought this for a 6-year-old. I don't think it is appropriate for this age but a great book for older children and adults.

  • Wisdom and relevance found here!

    So relevant to politics and wars today! If only we could learn from Dr. Seuss the pointlessness of violence as a solution to disagreements.
