The Butter Battle Book (1984)

 

The most controversial tale that Dr. Seuss ever wrote. A parody of the Cold War, it is the story of an arms race between the Yooks and the Zooks, whose disagreement is over how best to butter one's bread. It was aimed squarely at the rhetoric of Ronald Reagan. "I'm not anti-military," Seuss said, "just anti-crazy."
