And now they teach it in schools--finding all the metaphors and allegorical meaning they can. But I suppose we read for what we get out of something, not necessarily what the author intended.

This was such a fun book. It made the rabbits seem human almost, searching for a new home, fighting battles with other rabbits, etc. Many lessons of faithfulness and friendship here, as well as thoughts on how to be a good leader. Lots to think about ... or just a cute story of bunnies! Truly enjoyable.
