Freddy the Detective

Very funny. Love all the satire, and don't think it goes over children's heads, as I'm sure this series (what few books that I could find) was a primer for me to appreciate [b:Animal Farm|529943|Animal Farm|George Orwell|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1331660581s/529943.jpg|2207778]. I love how there are no super-villains... lots of bad guys, but they all have bits of 'humanity' in their characters. And the adventure is interesting, too, including the dramatic courtroom scene.

I really wish these were still read, and therefore still available... try them with your child and let me know if there's a chance that we could revive interest in them!

After reading Sherlock Holmes stories, Freddy the Pig decides to try his hand at detective work. After a bumbling start to this new career, he soon makes a name for himself, solving several crimes of animal natures, as well as bringing two human bank robbers to justice.
A funny, light-hearted children's book that has aged remarkably well since its original publication in 1932.

When I was a child, this was my personal favorite of all the many "Freddy the Pig" books as I already loved mysteries and Freddy really does do some serious detecting in this one, at least, serious in that he makes real deductions from evidencem though as usual wi

I love this book. The plot is simply enough to engage a young child, but the writing is clever enough to keep an adult laughing out loud. Subtle humor from a smarter period.

An entertaining children's story about a detective pig in a farm yard with his fellow animal sidekicks. Read out loud to my 10 yr. old son who received the book from his grandparents. I especially liked the parts when people were involved with the animals as well.

Hilariously funny! I love the Freddy series!

fun! read it for Vintage Book Circle. This is one I didn't read as a child. I was glad for the introduction
