Title: Butter Battle -- buy all other Dr. Seuss first.
Product review: All our kids are big Dr. Seuss fans, but unlike most of the others this one fell flat. Published very late in the "Dr. Seuss" career, it is as if someone else were attempting to imitate Theodore Geisel's style (which is what I suspect was the case). Unlike "The Lorax", an earlier book about another serious subject, pollution, in the "Butter Battle": 1) the imagination and creativity are lacking (nothing equivalent to "Brown Bar-ba-loots" and "Truffala Tufts"), 2) the style seems forced (many phrases are adapted from previous books), 3) the author's tone is much more harsh, 4) there is a major continuity problem near the end that confuses both child and adult alike, and 5) most importantly, the writing simply does not flow, making it uninteresting to an average child.My suggestion: leave this until the last book in your Dr. Seuss collection.
