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!
