Summary: The Butter Battle Book is the story of to groups of people. The Yooks who eat their bread with the butter side up and the Zooks who eat their bread with the butter side down. These two people have been feuding for years. A grandfather tells the story to his grandson. Each time they meet they come up with new technology to fight the other off when finally both sides have a means of destroying the other, but who will do it first?
Problems: It might be a little violent for your children.
Reaction: My dad used to read us this book all the time when we were young. Such a fun read! I think this can be related to countries and cultures in our world today and how they rival with one another and discover ways to destroy them while they do the exact same.
Recommendation: Again I think that this book is good for all ages of children. The colorful pictures are fun to look at for younger kids, and the story is complex enough for older children to enjoy.
