My wife recently asked me what books I liked as a child, and without hesitation, I said Freddy the Pig. I should note, I am 66. I remembered loving the books, but not much about them. My wonderful wife decided that she wanted to see what I was like, and started to read them. Her frequent laughter and recurring smiles made me return to the Freddy books. They are wonderful, funny, charming and just plan amusing. I don't know why they are not more widely read today. They show little age.Product details

Freddy the Detective Freddy the Pig Book 3 edition by Walter R Brooks Children eBooks Reviews
This is an amusing and fun to read book. My grandson had to read it for school but he really enjoyed reading it. This book has the added bonus of being two books in one and he now wants to read the other book. It is an old time book so there are some words in the book that need an explanation as they are used differently today.
I thought this was a very cute book. It should help a child to look for clues/evidence in a story. My grandson (9) was not as impressed as I was.
It's fantastic. If you've got youngish children, start them off with this Freddy book. I'm sure they'll want more, then. Myself? Read many of the Freddy books as a kid after being introduced to it by a very kind, elderly librarian who obviously knew her stuff.
This book was painfully boring and slow. My 7 year old son had to do a book report on this book and so I had to supervise and it was painful to have to read this book with him. It's so out dated and not interesting for small children. Each chapter is so long that my kid lost interest easily. Glad I'll never have to read this again
Freddy the Detective was one of my favorite books when I was in third grade. I loved the antics of smart witted Freddy and his barnyard companions. I bought this edition for my 4 and 3 year old nephews who enjoy reading. I hope they love this stalwart detective as much as I did.
A long time ago (as people count these things) a somewhat overweight, near-sighted 8-year old boy wandered up to the young readers section of his local library and took down a strange volume entitled "Freddy the Detective." To be frank, the boy had only just realized that there were books to read beyond Dick and Jane. Bored, he took the book back home and discovered an entirely new world. And changed his life forever.
That same boy, now much older, has recently discovered that, far from disappearing from the shelves, Freddy the Pig still is available and is still being read. Curious to see if the magic was still there, this reviewer once again took it home. I am pleased to report that Freddy remains one of Americas greatest heroes.
"Freddy the Detective" is one of the early books in a series that stretches from 1928 to include 25 volumes of delight for both children and the adults they are bringing up. Freddy is not your ordinary barnyard animal. Not only do all the animal's on Mr. Bean's farm talk and help with the chores. Certain of them have taken the trouble to learn to read and write. Freddy's latest conquest is "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" and he has decided to become the world foremost porcine investigator.
Freddy, his best friend Jinx the cat, and the sensible Mrs. Wiggins the cow confront many difficult challenges. These include the case of Everett Bean's stolen toy trains, the case of the missing rabbit, the countless plots of Simon the rat and his dishonest clan, and the case of the robbers in the hermit's cabin. And, in a grand finale, Freddy defends Jinx himself from charges of murder. Throughout all of this, our indomitable pig keeps up his plucky attitude. There is as much action in this story as there is in most efforts at more recent fiction. And a lot more fun as well.
Brooks' farm world is a microcosm of real world about us, but one were the animals are often wiser than the people. With the exception of the dastardly Simon the animals treat each other well even when they disagree. Many of them parody our own silliness, like the pompous rooster judge, but they all are likeable. I also appreciate the positive attitude that permeates Brooks writing. "Freddy the Detective" is still good reading 70 years after it was written. And the farm setting gives it a certain timelessness. It combines humor and strong values in an entertaining package, and has convinced more than one young reader that the world of books is a very fine place.
Wonderful classic. Although this is the third book in the 26 book series, it's the best one for a newcomer to read first. Other favorites are Freddy and the Ignormous, Freddy the Politician, and Freddy and the Poppinjay. Once hooked on the characters, you'll want to read them all. The first book in the series is Freddy Goes to Florida, which is also a wonderful story, but the character of Jinx the cat is not quite in its finalized form yet in that one.
