Looking for an interesting series, where the books are written from animals point of view. Kind of like Orwell’s Animal Farm, but more fantasy / sci-fi / action.

We may follow a group of fighting turtle, or a rat’s journey to home after getting lost, things like that. If taking example from movies, Ant Z is an example.

Any recommendations?

    I’m surprised no one has mentioned the original Bambi, a Life in the Woods by Felix Salten. It is 100% not for children, and describes in great detail the difficulty of surviving in the forest, from the perspective of animals, as well as the trees (there’s a particular moment with the trees that haunts me to this day).

    It was written in the 1920s, I think, but it’s really great, and a far cry from what Disney turned it into.

      Interesting. While I know Grimm’s Fairy Tales aren’t as nice as Disney make them out to be, didn’t know that about Bambi. Will take a look.

      Thanks for the recommendation.
