The Butter Battle Book: (New York Times Notable Book of the Year)

Dr Seuss

Illus. in full color. "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

increasingly elaborate (and ridiculous) armaments makes a telling
point."-- "Booklist."
