I’ve read every book by Walter R. Brooks that we own which are (I think) only from the Freddy the Pig series (I think they would be called a series). What do you like and dislike about his books?

Did he write other things besides the Freddy books?

He wrote a short story for a magazine titled “Ed Takes the Pledge” which inspired the TV series “Mr. Ed”.

Also, he wrote a picture book called Jimmy Takes Vanishing Lessons about a boy who meets a ghost and learns to vanish. It’s pretty funny, if you can read about ghosts that are real.

In The Clockwork Twin, both Adoniram and Byram have R. as their middle initial. So does Walter R. Brooks. Do you think that Walter R. Brooks was making fun of his own middle name?

That’s interesting. It could be!

He also wrote a short story about a dog, I think the dog’s name was Henry, and I think it was called Henry’s Dog Henry but I can’t remember.

I believe my family has all the Freddy books except one. I haven’t read them all yet, and the ones I have read need re-reading anyways. I’ll get to it soon. (AKA. A very long time from now.)

I just recently started rereading some Freddy books. It’s been a while since I last read them. So far I’ve reread Freddy Plays Football, Freddy Goes Camping, and am now working on Freddy and the Bean Home News.
