Reader’s Annotation: The feud between Zooks and Yooks escalates to epic levels, all because of...the difference in how they butter their bread.
Author/Illustrator: Dr. Seuss
Age: 5 - 9
genre/subject: children's literature, picture book
Plot Summary: The story is told from the point of view of a Yook, who is raised to hate Zooks. They live on the other side of the wall, and they butter their bread on the down side of their bread. All Yooks butter the bread, right side up. This very small difference creates big problems, which develop into a full on war. Until
Evaluation: For older children, who may be able to talk about the word "war." There are a lot of weapons, even featuring a bomb. It is a bit violent, although the goal is anti-violence.
