With a fresh take on the big bad wolf, a topical narrative twist and a lot of playful satire, this hilarious picture book is the perfect introduction to how elections work for young readers aged 4–8.
It's election time at the farm and the candidates are as varied as the animals themselves. There's Peter Piggles and his "more mud for everyone" campaign; Anne Hen, the staunch defender of the right not to lay eggs; and the Mouse brothers, whose primary concerns are all cheese-based. This year, however, an animal nobody knows has entered the race - George Wolf, and he has attracted a huge amount of attention!
Mr Wolf is charming, likeable and very funny. He wants to be everyone's friend; that's his campaign pledge! But when he's elected, sheep start to go missing and George Wolf's team look very suspicious ...
Vote Wolf is a witty picture book that introduces politics and the unreliability of the media to young readers aged 4–8. Little ones will recognise familiar fairytale characters, such as the big, bad wolf, while the storyline parodying Animal Farm will keep the grown-ups entertained too.
