I think the turtle represents Hitler
Enjoyed this collection of three stories, the theme this time seems to be about ego.
Yertle is a turtle that is the king of all he sees, one day he realises that if he was higher up he would see more and because of that he would rule over more land. so he makes a throne out of turtles and like all good leaders he abuses those at the bottom.
the next story is about some bird with a rubbish tail and who is jealous of another bird who has a pretty tail. so she hatches a plan to get a better tail with disastrous consequences.
The final story is a rabbit and a bear fighting each over bragging rights for who is the best, little do they know that I am in fact the best.
Good fun stuff and another Dr Seuss book crossed off the list as read.
We dug it.
