It is a book about two countries who are fighting over a critical difference... whether you eat your bread butter side up, or butter side down. Each side can't understand the other's position, and they keep building bigger and bigger weapons to try to keep the scary people away from them, because, after all, no one wants their children corrupted by people who eat bread... THAT way... Eventually they get to a point where the weapons they are building would probably not only kill the other side, but themselves as well... it's kind of like a Child's introduction to the cold war, and the insane things that adults do, without making any direct references to reality, of course.

"The Butter Battle Book" is a children's book by Dr. Seuss that uses the story of a conflict between two societies, the Yooks and the Zooks, over the correct way to butter bread, as a satire on the arms race and the futility of war. Through the book, Dr. Seuss conveys a powerful anti-war message and encourages readers to seek peaceful solutions to conflicts.

Grandfather Yook pushed down the Zook Van Itch, launching his Bitsy Big-boy boomeroo without a flinch. Only then did he notice his grandsons call. Only then did he notice the Zook fell on the wrong side of the wall!
