mrp27 @DivaDiane @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @ezrascarlettbookgasm @vkois88 If I remember correctly I purchased My Many Colored Days and Diffendoofer Day in the mid '90s and they were published posthumously. 7y

mrp27 @AmberWB The Butter Battle Book is definitely one of my favorite Seuss books. 7y

The Butter Battle Book | Seuss

pick

Little did I know that when I picked up The Butter Battle Book at the library I actually picked up “Dr. Seuss Does an Arms Race”! The Yooks and the Zooks butter their bread differently, which leads to weapons, culminating with the creation of the “Big-Boy Boomeroo,” a tiny device that, if dropped, will annihilate the enemy. Could be humorous if not for current events. A few world leaders should read this book. It‘s right at their reading level.

Abby-J Wait until you realize The Sneetches is about the Holocaust. (edited) 7y

TheWordJar @Abby-J I‘ve never read The Sneetches! But isn‘t Yertle the Turtle an anti-fascism parable too? I like that he‘s deeper than just One Fish, Two Fish! (edited) 7y

SaraBeagle My husband teaches this when they cover the Cold War in his history class 7y

Cheshirecat913 @Abby-J 😲 I didn't realize that! Wow, interesting to see it in that light. 7y
