Antonio DiRe
The Butter Battle book is about this young boys grandfather taking him out to see the wall. This wall is the wall that keeps the zooks away from them the yooks. The zooks eat there toast with the buttrt on the bottom of there toast. The yooks eat there toast with the butter on top of there toast. the boys grandfather told him that when the wall was only half way built he had to guard the wall to make sure no zooks came to the yooks side. When i was guarding the wall i had a plant that pointy so if any zook came near me i can poke them. But one day one of the zooks sling shoted a rock at my plant and it broke. Then i went to the head yook and he told his people to make me a machine that can shoot 3 rocks at once. After they made it i brang it to the wall and when i got there the zooks had the same one as me. So i kept going back to the head yook to build better machines then them but no matter how hard i tried the zooks always had the same one as me.then we both gave up and built the wall to the highest it can go and decided to stay away from each other.

Great Book!

This book is about different people that live on opposite sides of a brick wall. I really enjoyed reading this book.

Yep, This Is The One -- a review of "The Butter Battle Book"

Well, this is the Seuss book that riles the feathers of some adults. It's got a definite anti-war theme and deals with the consequences of a military arms escalation.

Who's at war? It's the Yooks and the Zooks. Essentially the same sorts of people, they clash over whether bread should be eaten butter side up or down. The story is told from a little boys (?) perspective and is the only Seuss book I can recall that ends on an ominous note.

"Grandpa!" I shouted. "Be careful! Oh gee!
Who's going to drop it?
Will you...? Or will he..."
"Be patient," said Grandpa. "We'll see.
We will see..."

It's hard to say whether kids pick up on these various messages. My own impression is that they won't, unless you sit and have a chat with them. They will be far too busy listing to the clever rhymes and gazing at the wild Seussian artwork.

Meant for practice reading, the Accelerated Reading designation for "The Butter Battle Book" is 3.9 which means that end of year 3rd Graders should be able to read this book themselves without getting too frustrated by words they don't know.

The "Official" Interest Level is given as Preschool thru 2nd Grade, but that makes no sense given the reading level. And personally, I would say that it's more appropriate for First thru Fourth Graders.

My own two children showed moderate interest in the book and they are currently 6 and 8; boy and girl. They requested multiple reads and the book is a pretty good read-aloud. Not amongst Seuss' best, in my opinion. It IS definitely worth a read.
