Looking for recommendations for series from animals point of view (self.books)

Looking for an interesting series, where the books are written from animals point of view. Kind of like Orwell's Animal Farm, but more fantasy / sci-fi / action.

We may follow a group of fighting turtle, or a rat's journey to home after getting lost, things like that. If taking example from movies, Ant Z is an example.

Any recommendations?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the original Bambi, a Life in the Woods by Felix Salten. It is 100% not for children, and describes in great detail the difficulty of surviving in the forest, from the perspective of animals, as well as the trees (there's a particular moment with the trees that haunts me to this day).

It was written in the 1920s, I think, but it's really great, and a far cry from what Disney turned it into.

Interesting. While I know Grimm's Fairy Tales aren't as nice as Disney make them out to be, didn't know that about Bambi. Will take a look.

Thanks for the recommendation.
