Summary: Freddy and Shakespeare
Comment: Freddy the Detective was the first hard bound book that my son Jonathan ever read (age 9-10). Later he went on to read all of Shakespeare's 37 plays as a teen ager. This can happen to your children if you introduce them to the Freddy series. "Detective" is especially interesting to boys who may not like to read that much. And it is excellent for adults also since there are many levels of understanding in all of the Freddy books (all 26 of them).

Summary: Walter Brooks had a genius for character, even animal.
Comment: The Freddy the Pig adventures are almost unique in children's literature. Few series, whether for children or adults are so full of the sense of community, and the character's place in that community than the Freddy books are. I've just reread six of them (two aloud) with my children. I'm amazed to find that you can read this series, end to end, in much the same way that you would read Trollope's Barchester novels, or Anthony Powell's Dance---as life caught in microcosm, studied, and loved and laughed at, and to hell with the fact that these are animals. I step off the subway each day and enter an office that is remarkably like Freddy's world, except we have few adventures. These are great books and I hope the publisher will find a ready audience for them.

Summary: Always Gets His Animal
Comment: You are going to love finding out who killed the crow, who stole the model train, and how Freddy rids the barn of those venal rats. And then there's the difficulty of striking a balance between the justice of incarceration, and compassion for the incarcerated. Whether assembling clues, shadowing the suspicious, or selecting a judge, Freddy is the right pig for the job. And you'll hardly recognize our old friend in his disguises.
