Interestingly, from what I understand, Dr. Seuss actually based his Yertle character on Hitler (if you read the story, you’ll understand how that works).

There is also some history of schools banning this book due to it being too political. However, I recommend it! I only see good morals being taught as we follow what not to do in these funny stories.

See if your library still has it!
