About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to navigate the complexities of social influence, gossip, or the desire to organize their peers. It is an ideal choice for the child who is a natural leader or aspiring writer, providing a humorous yet thoughtful framework for understanding how information impacts a community. Through the lens of a newspaper-running pig, the story explores the weight of one's words and the importance of civic responsibility. The story follows Freddy, a clever and versatile pig on the Bean Farm, as he establishes a newspaper for his fellow animals. While the premise is whimsical, the narrative delves into themes of integrity, fairness, and the power of the press. It is a sophisticated chapter book that rewards attentive readers with dry wit and clever wordplay. Parents will appreciate how it models standing up for what is right in a way that feels like a grand adventure rather than a lecture.
