Published over a 40 year period, the 26 classic books about Freddy the Pig have delighted five generations of children, and they are now going on to delight a sixth generation. When J.J. Pomeroy, the robin, almost pulled off Freddy’s tail, thinking it was a worm, Freddy decided to transform the robin into a popinjay. This starts a series of transformations—some of which may be a big mistake.

In Freddy and Simon the Dictator, warning had been printed in the Bean Home News and the Centerboro Guardian, but nobody paid much attention to them. An animal revolt? “Preposterous!” said the Beans and all the other humans. But it’s true—and Simon the rat is determined to turn the farm into a dictatorship. Mr. Camphor has been persuaded (much against his better judgment) to run for governor of New York State, Herb Garble shows up, Jinx defects to the enemy (or does he?), and Freddy—that inimitable pig!—goes to work as the political boss of Otesaraga County. Freddy and Simon the Dictator is classic Brooks, in which the master of barnyard hilarity has a lot of fun satirizing politics and—especially—politicians.
