Reviews"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. The language amuses, the drawings are zesty and humorous, and the demand for this book will be large."-- School Library Journal. "Provocative, packs an allegorical punch. 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.
