Yertle the Turtle
•Themes: tyranny, totalitarianism
•7th grade World History Connection:
 Rise of Hitler
•“Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories…was first
 released by Random House Books on April
 12, 1958…Though it contains three short
 stories, it is mostly known for its first story,
 “Yertle the Turtle”, in which Yertle, king of the
 pond, stands on his subjects in an attempt to
 reach higher than the moon—until the bottom
 turtle burps and he falls into the mud, ending
 his rule. The story, among Seuss's most
 notable, is widely recognized as condemning
 fascism and absolute power; the despotic
 ruler Yertle was intended to parallel the
 dictator Adolf Hitler.”                             www.amazon.co

The Sneetches
                • Themes: discrimination, tolerance
                • 7th grade World History Connection:
                  Anti-Semitism
                • “Published in 1961, The Sneetches was
                  written during the controversial times in
                  America of the civil rights
                  movement. Depicting messages of
                  racism, and discrimination, he uses a
                  simple star as the cause for major
                  conflict in this story. The yellow,
                  seemingly primitive Sneetches try to find
                  power through discriminating against
                  one another based on a distinction so
                  insignificant as the presence of a star on
                  their belly. ”

The Butter Battle
       Book
• Themes: escalation of conflict
• 7th grade World History Connection:
  The Cold War
• “Published in 1984, Butter Battle shed light
  on the growing threat of war between Yooks
  and the Zooks. The threat stems solely from
  the way Yooks and Zooks choose to eat their
  bread: butter-side up and butter-side down,
  respectively. The story ends with a blank
  page, leaving a cliffhanger ending that is open
  to interpretation.”

The Lorax
                • Themes: greed, environmental conservation
                • 7th grade World History Connection:
                  Impacts of industrialization
                • “The Lorax, written by Dr. Seuss in 1971, focuses
                  on environmentalism and the consequences of
                  increasing industrialization. …Seuss personifies
                  big industry in an entrepreneur, the Once-ler,
                  and the stereotypical environmentalist in the
                  Lorax. The Lorax is a mysterious character who
                  attempts to protect animals’ habitats from the
                  Once-ler's destructive and greedy actions. The
                  message Seuss portrays about the detrimental
                  effects of environmental apathy is one that
                  resounds strongly still in today’s world with the
                  ever looming prospects of global warming.”
