    I’m not sure if these books are available in Germany, and if it’s appropriate for such a young child, but my mom used to read a series of books from Nikolai Nosov called “Neználek” in Czech with me.

    It takes place in a communist society. This was my first exposure to communism, and I remember asking my father why we can’t just get houses for free, because it seems like it would help everyone… to which I got a lecture about how communism can never work, etc, you get it. I was like 5 lol

    Anyway, that would be my recommendation.

    Dr. Seuss has some real bangers.

    Yertle the Turtle - about regular workers overthrowing an oppressor

    The Sneeches - anti-consumerism

    The Lorax - environmental

    The Butter Battle Book - deep cut Seuss about the arms race during the cold war haha

      Yeah these are good. I can’t bring myself to read Butter War to my kids. Its so fucking bleak. First time I read Lorax to my oldest it made me cry. These books hit real different when you have kids.
