The Butter Battle Book
By Dr. Seuss
Conflict Resolution, Knowledge is Power, Peacemakers for Life, Celebrating Differences
12 min. without interruption (definitely abridgeable)
24 min. with discussion prompts.
OLDER KIDS – 4th at the youngest, ideally 5th & up
Long and short of the story is this – two groups of people who disagree over something not as important as they think it is – and this causes them each to engage in a weapons race for a hypothetical war that they never started. Which, of course, amounts in two soldiers standing on either side of a wall, glaring at each other, holding buttons keyed to detonate doomsday devices.
Available in Snell Library.
