** Did the Grinch actually take all the food from them, or just what they needed for the feast? It does mention that he "cleaned out the icebox" so based on that I would presume that he did indeed take a large amount of their food. But they may have had more. (Also remember that probably not all of their food would be in the icebox. They would have some in the cupboard.) Also it only mentions him cleaning out one icebox. Sure he may have emptied out more but did he actually leave no food at all?

** Alternatively, the Yooks represent the USA and the Zooks represent the USSR. Notice how the Yooks wear blue and the Zooks wear orange, which is a close colour to red. Also, most Americans eat their bread with the butter side up (if not on both sides) and the name "VanItch" sounds very Russian.

* In “The Big Brag” why did Dr. Seuss choose a worm as the creature with the most incredible eyesight. A worm doesn’t fit the concept like the other animals do. I could see maybe an owl or a cat. But a ''worm!?'' Rabbits DO have excellent hearing and bears DO have a strong sense of smell. But worms in [[RealLife real life]] are pretty much the [[ArtisticLicenseBiology exact opposite of the worm in the book when it comes to seeing]].

* Initially, Yertle the turtle only wanted to be higher so he could see more and therefore rule over more (as he's the ruler of all he can see), but then he wanted to be higher than the moon. Why? He can see the moon just fine so he therefore rules over it. Additionally, why was he insisting on using turtles for his "throne"? Why couldn't he get rocks?

** It may be because the Plain-Bellied wanted to fit in with the rest of the crowd, rather than stooping to the Star-Bellies' level of acting superior. Take for instance when the Plain-Bellies earn their stars from [=McBean=]; rather than accepting themselves after the Star-Bellies lost their stars, they instead chose to remove/gain their stars in order to match that of the other Sneetches.

** Both and neither, that's kind of the point. The two sides' only noticable difference is how they eat their bread (an ideaology), just like in real life. And if we don't already have an opinion on one of the ideologies (which making one side directly represent communism and one capitalism would give us), the conflict seems pointless and stupid, just like the Cold War looks to many now.
