Freddy the Pig

Freddy is the invention of Walter R. Brooks. Freddy lives on Mr. Bean's farm with his other animal friends -- Jinx the cat, Mrs. Wiggins the cow, Henrietta the hen, and Charles the rooster. What is unusual about Freddy is that he thinks he is human. In his first adventure, Freddy Goes to Florida, Freddy organizes a travel agency for animals so that he and his friends can escape the cold of winter by vacationing in Florida.


The IMC has several other books about Freddy including the newest addition Freddy the Pied Piper. But my personal favorite has always been Freddy the Detective. After reading a book about Sherlock Holmes the famous London detective, Freddy is sure he can solve mysteries, too. He dresses up like Sherlock Holmes and bothers all the animals on the farm looking for a mystery. I couldn't stop laughing at Freddy's crazy ideas. If you haven't yet read one of Freddy's stories, now os a great time. Then watch that smile curl up as you follow Freddy's adventures.
