A. The Yooks and the Zooks live in neighboring communities divided by a wall and by a custom. The Yooks eat their bread with the butter side up and the Zooks eat their bread with the butter side down! This difference causes dislike, distrust, and finally hatred. With classic simplicity and wonderfully creative language, characters, and illustrations, Dr Seuss explains how small differences can grow into larger disagreements that, in turn, can escalate into potential destruction. This book makes its point clear for all ages, and all ages will respond to its message and its cleverness.
B. The book addresses the many kinds of peace needed in today’s world, as described on its jacket: “Peace among people living in different lands but also among next-door neighbours.

E. This remarkable work by a young teenage Jewish girl,written while hiding in Amsterdam from the occupying Nazi army, has had a dramatic effect since its first printing.
