  Unless analyzing symbolic storytelling sounds like a good way to spend your free time, this individual issue may not be the best purchase for you. The same can be said for Maus, though. The best stories are the ones that help us to gain a better understanding of our world, and, once in a while, a story comes along that does so in regards to an important social issue. This series teaches much more than it initially appears. Tolerance, political strategy, environmentalism, foreign policy, corporate mentality, and racism are all topics examined over the course of these books. For the reason that the series presents these pertinent but complicated concepts in an accessible manner, it should be given proper respect as an important literary work. Buy the trade and share it with your children. Ask for it to be added to your class' reading list. Above all, though, read it for yourself, and try to understand what it means to you.
