	The Butter Battle Book - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The book was adapted into an animated TV special in 1989 by filmmaker Ralph Bakshi.
		The main dispute between the two cultures is that on one side of the wall people eat their bread with the butter side upwards, while on the other side they eat their bread butter-side down.
		This book was written during the Cold War era, and reflects the concerns of the time, especially the perceived possibility that all life on earth could be destroyed in a nuclear war.

	Butter Battle Book \| Something to think about
		This book is about 2 groups, the Yooks and the Zooks, who live separated only by a wall, and are very similar except for the way they butter their bread.
		The book is about passing on prejudice and hatred to children, when grandfather reveals the terrible bread-buttering practices of those who live on the other side.
		This book tries to show the folly of war, specifically the cold war, and arms races, by all of Dr. Seuss's usual tricks: the creation of new words for objects representative of things in our own world, and beautiful, colorful environments which act as twisted mirror images of our own world.

	The Butter Battle Book : (New York Times Notable Book of the Year) (Classic Seuss) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		"Butter Battle" was a departure for Dr. Seuss, a serious book about the nature of war and the nuclear arms race.
		The book also, however, can be viewed as showing the necessity of arms races, since, as the book implies, if one side doesn't match the threat of the other, than the other will strike.
		The Butter Battle Book is a wonderful lesson, written in a way that even a child could understand the concept of war, see how differences in people can cause foolish problems, and use their imaginations.

		In several classrooms where The Butter Battle Book was read to young children (4 to 6 years old) for the first time, we saw children respond to the book in a variety of ways.
		Following the reading of the book, it is important for parents and teachers to look for signs of children’s awareness and concern about bombs and nuclear threat in their behavior and to initiate individual discussions with children who indicate an awareness.
		The Butter Battle Book is one of the few resources that acknowledges a world situation which many children know about, and it provides a way for sincere and reassuring adults to set the stage for children to raise the issue.

	National Review: The Butter Battle Book. (Dr. Seuss) @ HighBeam Research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Butter Battle Book is a radical departure from previous Seuss works: It is an unabashed and blatant political statement.
		The Butter Battle Book is trivialization of an already oversimplified world view--that of the nuclear-freeze movement.
		The last page of The Butter Battle Book is an eloquent, albeit unitended, affirmation of the value of nuclear deterrence--the Zooks do not dare nuke the Yooks for fear of being nuked themselves.

		These books’ almost universal appeal to children provide the groundwork not only for motivating reading and further learning, but also for encouraging a life-long appreciation for and love of books.
		Seuss’s books are mainstays in the elementary classroom and media center, very little has been published in the print world that synthesizes the myriad of dynamic activities dedicated to utilizing this literature to its maximum potential.
		The introduction to this useful book explains that it was designed for elementary school teachers and children’s librarians “to create enthusiasm and excitement in the rhyme and rhythm of literature, as well as to reinforce early reading and language skills.” Activities are divided into two groups: Primary (K-2) and Intermediate (3-5).

		The Butter Battle is a Cold War-inspired cautionary tale about the dangers of an escalating arms race.
		Just like in the book, the neighboring Yooks and Zooks are identical societies except for one dehumanizing difference that makes them mortal enemies: The Yooks eat their bread with the buttered side up, and the Zooks eat it with the buttered side down.
		Technically The Butter Battle is an immense achievement, especially in terms of its thoroughly enjoyable music.

	National Review: The Butter Battle Book - Dr. Seuss
		The essence of the dispute is the question which side bread should be buttered on, with the Yooks buttering the top side and the Zooks the bottom.
		The adherents of that movement--Dr. Seuss evidently among them--see the U.S.-Soviet rivalry as an unfortunate misunderstanding over not very important cultural differences, e.g., which side bread should be buttered on; a misunderstanding fueled by a senseless arms race driven by technological imperatives alone.
		This is all too likely to evoke memories of the Berlin Wall--that stark prison boundary reminding the world that the heart of the East-West struggle is human liberty versus totalitarian tyranny, not American failure to comprehend Russian food, music, and poetry.

		The three tales here--"Butter Battle Book," "Daisy-Head Mayzie" (a story discovered after Geisel's 1991 death), and "Horton Hatches the Egg!"--all offer up Dr. Seuss's distinctive storytelling, but each is decidedly different.
		The "Butter Battle Book" offers a witty and sharp allegorical war tale: the Zooks and the Yooks battle over which side of the bread should be buttered.
		I can remember watching the "Butter Battle Book" in a high school poli-sci class; Seuss's satirical Cold War fable is both amusing and chilling, and a good choice for older children and teens.

		There’s Daisy-Head Mayzie from the mid-90s, the Turner-made Butter Battle Book, and the early Merrie Melodies short, Horton Hatches the Egg.
		As books, Horton Hatches the Egg is by far the most popular of these, but I do remember reading the Butter Battle Book.
		In later years, he went on to produce the popular children’s show, “Time for Beany.” The Butter Battle Book, made in association with Turner Network Television, was made in 1989, which makes it one of the last movies to have Dr. Seuss’ personal touch as he aided in production.

		The Butter Battle Book was not one of Dr. Seuss' best books, but under the direction of the legendary maverick Ralph Bakshi (Fritz The Cat, Heavy Traffic), it forms the basis for a very good cartoon.
		But Daisy Head Mayzie and Butter Battle Book are not without their charms and children will be spell bound by these shorts.

		The newly formed Muslim government of Pakistani Azad ("free") Kashmir quickly took control of significant swathes of territory and kept advancing towards the state's capital, Srinigar.
		Although the Indian army drove the Pakistan-supported forces of Azad Kashmir back a wee bit, the battle was a Pyrrhic victory and continued only until the end of 1948, when India asked for the United Nations' intervention in the dispute.

		The book in question is "The Butter Battle Book," which was published in 1984, as a response to Ronald Reagan's arms-building.
		The story describes a conflict between the blue-suited Yooks, who prefer to eat their bread with the "butter side up," and orange-suited Zooks, who eat their bread with the "butter side down." The Yooks and Zooks then embark on a perilous arms race.
		But it surely helped put the idea in my head -- as it surely helped millions of others who in recent days marched in Miami and (perhaps) London -- that war is always fought on frivolous grounds and that acquisition of better weapons technology is immoral.
