The Butter Battle Book
The Butter Battle Book | Seuss
4 posts | 24 read | 1 to read
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.

Little did I know that when I picked up The Butter Battle Book at the library I actually picked up “Dr. Seuss Does an Arms Race”! The Yooks and the Zooks butter their bread differently, which leads to weapons, culminating with the creation of the “Big-Boy Boomeroo,” a tiny device that, if dropped, will annihilate the enemy. Could be humorous if not for current events. A few world leaders should read this book. It‘s right at their reading level.

TheWordJar @Abby-J I‘ve never read The Sneetches! But isn‘t Yertle the Turtle an anti-fascism parable too? I like that he‘s deeper than just One Fish, Two Fish! (edited) 6y
SaraBeagle My husband teaches this when they cover the Cold War in his history class 6y
Cheshirecat913 @Abby-J 😲 I didn't realize that! Wow, interesting to see it in that light. 6y

I would suggest a few world leaders read this, but I‘m afraid it would encourage them to race to be first to drop the Boomeroo 😞.

Of course it's butter side up.
