Freddy the Politician

Written by Walter R. Brooks

Narrated by John McDonough

Mr. Bean knows he has the smartest animals in the state of New York. He's just not sure they can care for his farm by themselves while he takes his wife on vacation. So to show how responsible they are, Freddy the pig and his friends start their own bank and their own animal republic. But a hotly contested election between a plain-spoken cow and a wily woodpecker might be more than even Freddy can handle.

Originally entitled Wiggins for President, Freddy the Politician tells the story of how the Bean animals unite all the local animals into the First Animal Republic. Freddy also forms the First Animal Bank. It's easy to wax on about all the good things I learned from these books, but really it's because they were rollicking good fun and never didactic. -- Billie
