Yertle the Turtle

Hitler.

Yep. This Dr. Seuss book is about Hitler.

Look, the thing about Seuss stories is that they're never just Seuss stories. They're always about something more. And Yertle is not exception. It's your one stop shop for everything you need to know about the worst part of human nature—about fascism, totalitarianism, power structures, oppression, and selfishness. And turtle stacking.

Sound like a tempting dish you can't wait to sink those teeth into? Us too.
