Ilustration Conducive To Books The Butter Battle Book
Illus. in full color."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.

One of the most profound and powerful of Dr. Seuss's books. I would recommend it to politicians and men and women of the armed forces everywhere. Or even just those who like to quarrel and tend to let things get out of hand over heated emotion. *Sigh* I know war and fighting and a system of defense is important towards a countries "safety" and preservation or what not but by now after paying attention to history and war and all the blood that has been shed can we find a better way to solve ourWe all are intimately familiar with the glorious rhyming and the honest joy of reading a Dr. Seuss book aloud. Considering some of the check-outs that my kindergartner has brought home this year - the kind I begrudgingly cracked open and read each night with the sort of over-taxed smile and forced lilt necessary to make it through the more inane children's books - seeing a Dr. Seuss was a great relief.

They begin with sentries guarding the wall separating their borders which of course, could be taken as a metaphor for anything that separates us
Dr. Seuss has been known to include many different political issues and views in his children's books. I find this extremely interesting and different than many authors. I feel like most children book authors would steer away from politics since many children do not understand the deeper meaning.

In the book, there are
One of the few Dr. Seuss books I didn't discover until high school. We were discussing war and this was one way in which we took to analyzing and dissecting the basis of it. I had not read it during my childhood, but my childhood was the kind for which this book was exactly written. Hampered with the threat of imminent danger stemming from the arms race in general, but particularly the planet-ending threat of nuclear war. It was nearly a given that it would happenthe question was when.So, no

Great book. Points out the escalation of trying to be better than those we choose to make enemies - usually for stupid reasons.
