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.
