What to expect
Freddy is a pretty busy fellow, even for a pig of his immense talents. He’s always working on new poems, and he’s even willing to get up bright and early to lend his squeal to wake the farm when Charles the rooster comes down with a cold.
But when mean Mrs. Underdunk takes over the Centerboro Guardian and declares she will no longer publish news of the Bean farm animals, the multitalented pig puts on one more hat: newspaper editor. The trouble is, when the Bean Home News becomes more popular than the Guardian, Mrs. Underdunk sets her sights on ridding Centerboro of all of its uppity animals—starting with Freddy!
