Pigs Books

'Fluffy Plants a Jellybean' is a delightful addition to the Fluffy series and a good example of Fluffy's silly charm. My son (third grade) was a book-hating non-reader until he met Fluffy. Fluffy changed that. In 9 months my son has gained almost 3 years in reading ability. A good part of that gain was his desire to read the Fluffy books. These books are great fun for kids and parents. The Jellybean story with it's combination of Fluffy and the Jack and the Beanstalk tale is particularly enjoyable.

It is a great book.Iloved it and think you would love it too!It is about when Fluffy thinks that jellybeans grow into jellybean plants,so he decides to plant one in the class garden.Later Fluffy dreams that a jellybean stalk grows.

My son loved Fluffy and carried around the books that I bought him. He loved that this little guy was sweet and lovable. We've moved on in books but he insists that we keep Fluffy!!!

This is the summer before second grade for my son and Fluffy books are perfect to keep him reading throughout the summer. Fluffy is a guinea pig who lives in a classroom. He is very funny and witty. Fluffy will keep your child laughing and interested.

Pretty Good but still not as good as others like Frfeddy and the Egnormous, Freddy the Pilot, and Freddy the Cowboy but highly recomeneded for all ages.

Not just for children, this book does more than regale us with the usual cliches about the evils of dictatorship - it uncovers the darkness in each heart that psychologically paves the way for dictatorship. This book doesn't just poke fun, it cuts deep.

If you are not familiar with Freddy I suggest you read "Freddy the Detective" first to see how he became a detective.
Now this may very well be his greatest adventure for kids of all ages.
Once again Freddy is confronted with many overlapping mysteries. One of the Marinas (Two Clicks) is missing. And Freddy must use some of his best disguises in the investigation. As with Freddy stories there are many adult concepts that are brought up in the story and one must know where loyalty lies and be ware of deceit.
Now have fun and learn how the ABI (Animal Bureau of Investigation) helps solve the mysteries.

Surely the best Freddy the Pig book, Freddy and the Baseball Team from Mars is humorous and delightful. From the martians, to Simon and the rat gang, to Mr. Hercules, this book is a must-read, Freddy fan or not!

Someone is wreaking havoc in Centerboro, destroying gardens, stealing bicycles and breaking windows. Animal tracks, including pig tracks, are at the scenes of the crimes. The Bean animals are being accused of these crimes. Freddy attempts to track down the crooks, including a headless horseman, with the help of a friendly dragon! As always, there is lots of action.

If you like this book, you should try the other Freddy books. If you liked the other Freddy books, you will love this one--it was great!

I am beginning to realize that I was severely deprived as a young child. The little corner library where I got my first library card actually had a pretty poor selection of books for young readers. As a result, I grew up thinking that there were only a few Freddy the Pig books. Actually Walter Brooks wrote 26 of them. That makes Freddy every bit the equal of the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. Many of these books are out of print now, and hard to find, but The Overlook Press has been gradually returning them to circulation. Set in the rural Northeast at a time (the late twenties and thirties), the books recall a time when the world seemed simpler and more full of grace. "Freddy and the Dragon" is the last Freddy novel, published in the year of Brooks death, 1958.

Returning from a jaunt around New England, Freddy and Jinx the cat find themselves less welcome in Centerboro then they are accustomed. Investigation reveals that many of the town's citizens have had property vandalized mysteriously. Witnesses reported sightings of several animals, including a pig. Since many people are naturally wary of talking animals, the suspect du jour for the humans of Centerboro is Freddy and some of his friends from the Bean farm. Our pig hero has no choice but to investigate before he is either jailed or lynched.

Freddy is aided by many friends, like Uncle Ben the inventor, J. J. Pomeroy the detecting robin, Samuel Jackson the mole (and professional conscience), and the adventuring spiders, Mom and Pop Webb. His first challenge is to track down a rogue bull and bring him to justice. Percy the bull has been doing a lot of the vandalism, but Freddy discovers that Percy, although a member of the gang, is really not a bad fellow, just high spirited. Once the bull is offered a chance to stay at the Bean farm and learn how to be a gentlemen he provides Freddy with many of the clues needed to track down Jack the gangster and his evil henchanimals.

What about the dragon? Well, when Freddy is terrorized by the headless horseman who picks up extortion payments he turned to Uncle Ben for help. After a lot of banging and clanking, Ben comes up with a 3 animal dragon suit that even breathes fire. Freddy's trusty dragon is used several times to great effect, eventually bringing the nefarious criminals to justice. This same spirit of inventiveness pervades the entire story and makes it a true delight. From an atomic car to a spider that uses car headlights to signal, the characters often do the entirely unexpected.

As a child I loved these books for the many exotic and wonderful characters, and the enjoyable parts they play. As an adult, I am surprised at the naturalness and simple honesty of the tales as well. There are good guys and bad guys, but justice somehow prevails. People (and animals) have good points and failings, but, on the Bean farm, diversity, mutual respect, and support are the main order of the day. I can find the foundation of many of my own beliefs in the pages of Freddy the Pig.

Librarians coast to coast can breathe a sigh of relief. I can now return all of the grossly overdue books that I have acquired over the years while awaiting the long overdue return of that distinguished pig. Buy them, read them, and even better, share them with your kids. He's one helluva pig.

Pig, horse,cow, rooster, ducks and dog- all combine to make this freddy the pig detective book both amusing and full of intrigue

It is wonderful espacially since it is intruducing the ten horrible with little tin knives and there chant and war cry and another good one is freddy the pilot and this series is wonderful and highly recomeneded for people of all ages.

Freddy the Cowboy is one of the funniest books I've read! Freddy's adventures with Cal Flint, the picklefaced cowboy, and attempted riding will keep you in stitches. The farm animals each have their own personalities, some may remind you of a neighbor or brother. The rhymes are great, and you will love the Horrible Ten! Must read!

The cutest little book - with stickers! Kiddies love stickers, and Maisy and the gang are beloved by both boys and girls. A great buy!

I love all the Maisy sticker books. They are simple and fun and easy to use. The stickers are somewhat directed toward a certain page, but can really go anywhere. When you are done, it is actually a short book you can read with your toddler. Wonderful for a 2 or 3 year old. And I think a good value for the price ... just a little more than a pack of stickers would cost.

Garth Pig is a fabulous children's book, and it ought to be reprinted! My parents still remember long passages of the text 20 years later, they read it to me so many times. Garth's kidnapping by the ice cream lady (a wolf) and his dramatic rescue by his nine daring siblings on their 10-seat bicycle will captivate kids of all ages, and the wit and fun along the way is sure to charm adults as well. This is a gentle story, too - bravery and honesty from the protagonist piggies, and the ice cream lady is "never seen again" - nothing too scary for little ones. You'll thank yourself for tracking down this great book!

I had grown up with this book and it takes you into another world. They are fun stories, and Garth has had other stories written about him too. A funny, well worth it read.

Bought this book for a reluctant reader in the third grade. He likes it because certain words are in various typesettings and bold to highlight the action. He now requests other Geronimo Stilton books because he finds them exciting.

~*Surfs Up Geronimo*~
Surfs up Geronimo is an awesome book!! The main character is Geronimo Stilton. He is a Mouse!!!
The author if the book is Geronimo Stilton. The book is fantasy.
Geronimo Stilton (the mouse) is the main character. I would recommend this book to people who like adventure books! The book is like the Magic Tree House books because they are really adventurous.
If you want to see where Geronimo Stilton goes on vacation and what he does on vacation you have to read the book.
If you decide to read the book I hope you like it!!! If you really like the book then you should read the whole series!!! (There are a bunch of them)
