Read it in the 6th grade. Our class performed a play based on it. I was the Watchdog.

I agree.
I suspect this will be much like "Rocky and Bullwinkle was really for adults" when in reality there were very few kids who didn't 'get' the 'grown up' ideas in the first place.

So those who tout the "so much more!" as adults are the ones who didn't get it when they were supposed to.
