5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless, October 24, 2004

I read every "Freddy" book I could get my hands on when I was a child. Now I am buying them for my grandchildren. The words "timeless and classic" do not do them justice. Every child should have the opportunity to read about Freddy and his friends!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Entertaining, April 15, 2006

This review is from: The Story of Freginald (Hardcover)

If you enjoy animals stories like "Charlotte's Web" or "Babe, the Gallant Pig" I think you'll like the Freddy books. They aren't particularly believable, but who cares? They are immensely entertaining, with a bit of light satire but no serious cynicism. And I have yet to read one that didn't have a happy ending, with the mysteries solved, the bad guys getting their come-uppance (or else reforming), and everybody living happily ever after.
