The Bears' Famous Invasion of Sicily by Dino Buzzati

5.0

Another one!! This was so much fun to read aloud w Laura! The thematic depth and allegory was on point, the premise and writing were genuinely funny and charming, the little details like the illustrations changing from looking into the future to looking back at the past once they take Sicily and begin the process of self domestication. Also this thing is an epic and we get taken so much farther than I ever expected just from reading the basic premise beforehand. The range here also was astounding, not just in terms of tone but also literally In terms of medium! There is poetry, prose, illustration, character lists and captions etc. it felt so dynamic. Like 5 stars for the werewolf character alone tbh
