Wonderful book for whole family!

This is the first “Freddy” book we’ve listened to pet a recommendation and we loved it so much we listened to it within 2 days! I have kids ages 2, 4, 6 and 8 and they all enjoyed it and didn’t want to stop listening. We have just bought another Freddy book and can’t wait to start that one. The narration was also excellent and added so much to our enjoyment of this book!

They listen to this over and over again.

I really didn't know anything about this series other than its inclusion in our second grade reading list. I had no idea that buying this would plant Freddy firmly within our family history. It began with this story, but we've gone on to listen to several other titles in this series. Freddy and the other inhabitants of Mr. Bean's Farm are wonderfully detailed and imaginative characters. Its entertaining for adults and children alike. It wouldn't be the same without John McDonough perfect narration.

Cute mystery story

Farmyard animals with personalities reminiscent of Winnie-the-Pooh, w Freddy as their detective solve mysteries on the farm. Reminds my guys of Henry Huggins and Ramona.

Very Cute

Great Children's book. Good description of characters. The imagery used is fantastic. Will be looking into the rest of the series

AWESOME

IT WAS A SUPER GOOD BOOK BECAUSE THEREWAS ALL KIND OF ANIMALS. I LOVE ANIMALS

I love these Freddy the pig stories

I love them in spite of the fact that today they would be looked at as poorly written. They have all the sweetness and charm of the era they were written in. My husband loved them as a kid growing up in the sixties, and he read many of them to our children. As a writer, some of his phrasing and overuse of adverbs grate on me at times, still, overall they are sweet and fun, whimsical stories.
