 The "childrens story" tone and using animals is a brilliant writing method for this extremely dark and unsettling and haunting allegory to (and history of) very real political systems and class discussions in our own world.

i originally read this for school my freshman year of high school, but decided to revisit it to fill a prompt for my library’s reading challenge this year. such a clever little allegory that we all should take warning from.
