The reason for there being a war is because the Yooks eat their bread with the butter side up, in contrast the Zooks eat their bread butter side down. Also there is a lot of rhyming in the book. For instance, when it says ,” That’s why, as a youth, I made watching my goal, watching Zooks for the Zook-Watching Border patrol!.”(Seuss pg 8)”. To conclude this was a very good children 's book and many people still know it today.
