I might have been even more impressed by the wordplay of this one than the last Seuss I reread. His talent for making up names for things that don't exist is astonishing. I'd completely forgotten (this one wasn't a childhood favorite) that the story ends without a resolution, and I was a bit surprised that the two factions are posed forever inches from mutually assured destruction. But in hindsight, how else would you end this story, this metaphor for the cold war? ( )

Dr. Seuss fully engages the minds of young readers with his silly depictions and unique word choices. However, the book is still able to address heavier themes for children to begin breaking down such as problem solving, differences, getting along, and much more. ( )
