A guided tour through the museum of communism

I read three or four of the stories in this book, and my first thought was that this would be a perfect read for a college or AP High School class studying the days behind the Iron Curtain. This is a clever book, sarcastic, funny and inventive. Each animal represents an eastern European country and tells the story of the leader, the legacy and to some extent, the people living through it. I picked it up because I liked the title and cover, and I was not disappointed.
