Description

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.

I will be purchasing this title for my library collection. I know it is written for children, but I cannot help but think of the important conversation starter this book can and will bring to the table for older students and adults. The use of animals was not lost on me; it reminded me of "Animal Farm." Through simplistic imagery and the allegory, I feel that people of all ages will be able to engage with this book.

This book is exactly what I was hoping it would be. It’s very topical with what is occurring right now in America but also it’s a good introduction to how an election process occurs (not college vote system though, this is more preferred candidate/highest votes).
What a fun way to introduce young readers to voting and the folly of picking a candidate for their appearance or general presence rather than what their policies might represent. It’s all told using the vehicle of the big bad wolf, a tale so old it’s permeated through all cultures in some form or other.

Aside from all these points the book is hilarious and the illustrations are perfection. George Wolf and his cabinet are all seriously foreboding and adorable.

I can’t wait until I can buy a physical copy for my home and my school library. I know I’ll be suggesting this book to my classroom teachers. It’ll be great for teaching early democracy, narrative structures and even data!!! Who would the children vote for?!

Thanks NetGalley and Davide Calli, this was a joy to read!
