Freddy the Politician

Freddy the Pig seriesNext:Freddy's Cousin Weedly(1940) →

It all started in 1927 when a group of animals on a farm in Upstate New York decided to travel to Florida in search of warmer weather — and faithful fans of the Freddy books have been joyously lapping up each book in the twenty-six book series ever since! Why is Freddy such a popular pig? Most readers will tell you it's because he's a pig for all seasons — a detective, a pilot, a magician, an explorer, a poet, a politician ... you name it, and Freddy will give it a shot!Freddy the Politician comes just in time for the upcoming presidential election. Political unrest has descended upon Bean Farm. Amidst cries (and whimpers) for the establishment of the First Animal Republic, a crafty woodpecker erects his very own dictatorship, and Freddy is forced to fight for democracy in his own barnyard!

In Freddy and the Bean Home News, Freedy's friend Mr. Dimsey, the editor of the Guardian, is ousted for publishing news of Bean Farm in the local newspaper. To ensure that those who are interested might still learn of all the goings-on, Freddy takes it upon himself to found a newspaper of his own and calls it The Bean Home News, the basis for the current Freddy fan club newsletter. It turns out that being a newspaperman isn't quite as easy as Freddy thought it might be, but with typical aplomb he manages to burn the wires!
