He wants to build his throne because the moon was higher than him. So he decided to pile up other turtles on top of each other and he was on top. Then suddenly there was a burp from the bottom turtle and the king's throne was compromised.     <span style="background-color: rgb(0, 1, 255);"><span style="background-color: rgb(242, 242, 242);"> He became the king of nothing and was thrust in the mud. The secret message hidden in this book was that it was about Adolf Hitler. When Yertle was building up his throne it symbolized Hitler seizing power. When the tower of turtles fell, it symbolized the collapse of the Third Reich.

 * __The Sneetches__ sends an important message for all children and adults to learn. It demonstrates that no matter what people look like on the outside, everyone is the same on the inside. Even though one may have a star on their belly, does not mean they are more special or important than the ones that have no stars on their bellies. Also, it teaches that you should not try to change yourself to be like everyone else.** ||
