I know that many adults - my son and I included - enjoy the stories as wellBy Grandma EAlthough the Freddy books are considered children's literature, I know that many adults - my son and I included - enjoy the stories as well. Some of the books have been birthday or Christmas gifts for a now 15 year old grandson who has enjoyed the stories for several years. He's always delighted to receive a Freddy book.3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Brooks Captures the Essence of PoliticsBy Ralph WhiteWhen the Beans leave for an extended trip to Europe, it's up to the animals to run the farm themselves. They start up The First Animal Bank of Centerboro, teaching themselves what banks are all about in the process. Then they decide to start up the First Animal Republic, and to elect a president. Interestingly one of the candidates is an outsider, blown in by an ill wind. Of all the animals Brooks might have chosen for this role, it's a woodpecker! And from Washington DC, no less! Have to love it. This woodpecker says he knows better than the locals what's good for them, and starts using dirty tricks to win the election. The local candidate is Mrs. Wiggins, the cow. Our favorite pig, Freddy, is her campaign manager, and there is so much trickery on both sides that we don't know whether to laugh or cry. As usual, there are lots of lessons for the careful reader to learn. These animals are so very like us.

In this droll classic, Freddy the Pig helps Mrs. Wiggins the cow with her presidential campaign. If only the 2016 candidates were so lucky! Freddy, the good-natured pig, promotes a campaign to get Mrs. Wiggins, the cow, elected president of the First Animal Republic. As an officer in the First Animal Bank he has more than a modicum of influence if he can just figure out how to use it. 35 bw illustrations

From School Library JournalGrade 2-5-Freddy the Pig books by Walter R. Brooks have gone in and out of print for the last 40 years, but he gets a new life with this recording about his time as a politician. Freddy and his farmyard friends on Mr. Bean's farm decide to start the First Animal Bank of Centerboro and the First Animal Republic to show how responsible they are while the Beans are on holiday in Europe. Some of the vocabulary is beyond the level of elementary students today, but by listening to the clear reading of the book, the words can be understood in context. Narrator John McDonough gives each animal a different voice and personality. Each tape is clearly labeled for the chapters included. The audio versions of Freddy the Detective, Freddy the Pilot, and Freddy Goes to the North Pole, also narrated by McDonough, are available from Recorded Books as well.Nancy A.
