If you have any idea of what book I am thinking of, PLEASE tell me, because I can't remember the title for the life of me.

What I remember about the book:

Definitely 20th century, probably Soviet or Western European writer

I think it was a little bit political satire (as in satire that requires you to understand the political climate of that time and place to understand the humour)

Not very long

As the post above states, set in a magic university? with the university? business being the main focus

I don't have a lot of outside evidence for sibling interactions, so everything is based on my own animals.

Right now, Mantis is still learning what babies ARE. The last babies she saw was her brother when she was a baby. She is a bit overly curious, and she would like to put them in her mouth, I think. BUT on the other hand, she didn't hurt them when one of them got away from Bug this afternoon, she just followed it around, and when I called one of the babies over to me away from Bug and showed it to her, she was mostly just trying to figure out what it was (and if it was a treat, maybe?)

For the most part, yearlings tend to just be confused and a little annoyed at fresh babies. The moms will chase yearlings away from treats to let the babies have them, and the yearlings are not usually thrilled about that. They also are confused because it's often Their Moms not letting them have treats anymore, and that's hard for them.

I usually try to make it a bit easier, by giving them separate treats where the hens won't come (close to me), which serves to make them a little nicer to the babies, and make them friendly to me, as the one giving them treats.
