Here is what people are saying about the The Butter Battle Book
1 Star Rating  "A Thinly Veiled Political Screed"2009-05-23
- Reviewed By shanna_estigoy
A thinly veiled political screed against the Cold War between the US and the former Soviet Union. The Yooks (Yanks) and the Zooks are two peoples living on opposite sides of a great Wall. Their feud begins because the Yooks prefer their bread buttered on the top, while the Zooks prefer it on the bottom. They begin to antagonize each other, escalating with each new episode as military representatives approach the wall. There they face off, posturing with larger and larger weapons, until finally each side concocts a weapon that will wipe out the entire population. The story ends in the middle of a sentence as each threateningly proffers their bomb against the other.

While the book is written in typically lighthearted Seussical style, with wordplay and plenty of visual humor, this story is unsatisfying for young readers because of its cliffhanger ending, which they will not understand. Even for those who accept the premise that the Cold War was a bit of ridiculous posturing over minor cultural differences ought to concede that this is not the venue in which to make such an argument. It's a dirty trick for Seuss to use his reputation as a basically harmless fun writer as a soapbox for a political agenda, and then attempt to disguise it as a real story.
 
1 Star Rating  "I Love Dr. Seuss, not The Butter Battle Book"2009-02-26
- Reviewed By christina00
There's a reason this book's popularity pales in comparison with the gazillion other wonderful books Dr. Seuss created. I believe Dr. Seuss was a genius, and my political leanings are in line with his. The only explanation I can come up with for this book is that it wasn't intended for children or non-violent adults, but rather to send to war mongers to show them the error of their ways. My five and seven year old daughters found it downright disturbing. I "accidentally" skipped over much of it when I saw the look of sadness, concern, and utter confusion on their faces. It details a war between two nations, and the somewhat silly names for the weaponry are not nearly enough to make the increasingly morbid arms race palatable.

There are just so many better Dr. Seuss books: for big kids and adults, try "Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are", "Oh, the Places You Will Go", or "Happy Birthday to You"; for little kids, read "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish", "Go Dog, Go!", and "Dr. Seuss's ABC". These are a much better representation of this man's talent, and just a tiny taste of the incredible treasures he left for the world to enjoy.

P.S. ANYTHING adapted by Tish Rabe for Dr. Seuss is excellent as well, and great for intelligent elementary-aged kids.

This book was a childhood favorite that I am now enjoying again with my daughter. It is a funny, lyrical book that you will enjoy reading with your child.
 
3 Star Rating  "Cold war arms race"2008-12-29
- Reviewed By User: A1SMCXYBGVX5P4
This book is a fairly transparent parallel of the cold war arms race. While other Seuss books put more distance between the actual topic and the text of the book, this one lacks that divide. This is not one of the better Seuss books.

This is what my 8 year old son got out of reading The Butter Battle Book and that you should always accept peoples differences. It is one of his favorite books and it is timeless.
