Animal Farm by George Orwell is one of those rare books that’s enjoyable for everyone—whether it’s your kids or you picking it up, there’s something in it for every reader.

On the surface, it’s an engaging story about animals taking over a farm, but beneath that lies a powerful message about political regimes and the dangers of totalitarianism.

The characters feel like people we all know, and I always find myself recognizing new layers of meaning with each read. What makes it even better is that Orwell’s writing is both accessible and thought-provoking, making it one of those books you can revisit time and again. Plus, Orwell is a favorite of mine, and this book is a perfect example of why.

If you’re looking for a classic that combines great storytelling with deeper insights, Animal Farm is definitely worth your time.
