How does this book compare to Animal Farm or Watership Down?

I never read Watership Down, but I can say that this is the opposite of Animal Farm, in the sense that Orwell wrote an allegory of a Communist revolution and its descent into a dictatorship while this book is about a honest leader growing to run a democratic society. So yes, it's an allegory.
