Freddy Goes to Florida

De: Walter Brooks

Narrado por: John McDonough

The barnyard animals are tired of being cold in the winter. Since Farmer Bean doesn't have enough money to patch the holes in the barn or heat the chicken coop, they are migrating to Florida for the winter.

Travelling to the beat of Freddy the pig's funny songs, they meet with one adventure after another. They find gold treasure to take home to Farmer Bean in the spring. Florida is fun, except for the time when alligators try to eat them for lunch. Only Freddy's cleverness lets them escape with their lives.

Writing during the first half of the 20th century, Walter R. Brooks captured the idyllic America that disappeared with the 1950s. Fans remember him as the creator of Mr. Ed, the talking horse of television fame. His tour-de-force was his set of 26 Freddy books, all espousing the values that people still want for their children: loyalty, sharing, and forgiveness. John McDonough's delightful voice captures the humor and genius of this timeless creation.

Its really funny (review from 7yr old)

I thought I wouldn't like this book at the beginning, but it kept me interested. it's a really funny story and the narrator is very good. -7yr old boy

The overall classic!!

This is a classic for all!! The book has a great storyline and it is so nonsensical that it amuses you and occasionally it makes me laugh. The narrator has my thanks. He brought the characters to life quite well.

Overall: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Unexpectedly Fun

Expected not to like it, and at the start I did not.
When I got into it I really enjoyed the nonsense!

awesome book series!

the Freddy the pig series is a true classic. And the narrator does such an amazing job that I feel like I'm right there in the world that they live in when I listen to the book! I'm 64 years old and have been a fan since I was a little girl.

Absolutely delightful!

The second we finished this book, our children (10, 8, 6, 4) ALL immediately sighed with disappointment that it was over! What a fun, whimsical, and entertaining storyline! Thankfully, we can continue adventuring with Freddy, as we are quite excited to begin another book in the series! The narrator is exquisite and incredibly colorful, drawing us all into the barnyard with the animals. What a treasure!
