A review by kailey_luminouslibro
Freddy the Politician by Kurt Wiese, Walter R. Brooks

4.0

Freddy the Pig and the other barnyard animals decide to start an Animal Republic and elect a president to oversee the farm while Mr. Bean is away on vacation. But the scheming rat Simon has a plan to upset the election, and a group of meddling woodpeckers threaten to take over the farm. It's up to Freddy to come up with a plan to save the farm!

I love the old-fashioned charm of the Freddy books! It's reminiscent of Winnie the Pooh in some ways. The animal characters are all interesting and funny. The writing style is simple and charming.
Freddy is a really hilarious character who can be silly at times, although he's so much smarter than the other animals. He's dignified and ridiculous at the same time!
The election plot really kept me guessing, and I was delighted with the story!
