Adoniram, pronounced to rhyme with “Uncle Hiram,” lives on a farm with his uncle and aunt, who make him do all the work. Then, one day, the summerhouse is carried away by a flood, along with Adoniram. On his voyage in the summerhouse, a dog named Georgie and a English rooster called Ronald, also victims of the flood, join him. They meet Freddy the pig and Jinx the cat at a department store, in which they both took refuge in. After having a fine time eating and playing, they all set out to the Bean farm. There they find a visitor to the farm: Mr. Bean’s brother, Uncle Ben, who invents a clockwork boy named Bertram — who looks just like Adoniram! Then the animals, with the help of Mrs. Church, set out to find Georgie’s former owner, Byram.
The first book with Mrs. Church and Uncle Ben! Also, Freginald the bear, Mr. Boom, Louise the elephant, Leo the lion, etc. play a small part in this book. Very enjoyable. I’m not sure if the Georgie in this book is the same one that is in Freddy goes to Florida, so you can figure it out for yourself. Enjoy!

When Jinx and Freddy go to visit Freddy’s cousins up at the Macy farm, timid little Weedly goes back with Jinx, who has adopted him as nephew. Back at the Bean farm, while Mr. and Mrs. Bean are away in Europe, Aunt Effie and Uncle Snedeker have moved in and are after one of Mrs. Bean’s most prized possessions, a silver teapot! Will the animals be able to stop them before it’s too late?
Though the book focuses more on Jinx and Cousin Weedly than Freddy, it is still a very good book. I really liked reading about the play they put on!!!

This story of a young bear is very enjoyable. His parents couldn’t decide what to name him, so his great-grandfather, thinking he was a she, named him Louise. As the other young bears teased him about his name, Louise spent lots of time by himself, and began making poetry. He becomes a member of Mr. Boomschmidt’s circus, where they change his name to Freginald, and, with the aid of Freddy, uncovers an unscrupulous man who is attempting to put Mr. Boomschmidt out of business.
At first, I was sort of disappointed that this story’s star wasn’t Freddy, but there are so many fun parts that I couldn’t help liking it. The circus animals are back in full force, and Freginald has some humorous adventures.

The mysterious Mr. Eha has been underhandedly trying to get Mrs. Filmore to sell her hotel. With the aid of rats, Mr. Eha is secretly making the hotel seem haunted and run-down. It’s up to Freddy, with the help of the Bean animals and his good friend Mr. Camphor, to defeat Mr. Eha and drive the rats away. Woven into the story is a funny subplot where Mr. Camphor’s two aunts, Aunt Elmira and Aunt Minerva have come to visit him.
Walter R. Brooks can certainly write an amusing story and this one is no exception. It’s not as hilarious as Freddy and the Flying Saucer Plans, but it is a gem of a Freddy. A quick tip: Freddy and the Baseball Team from Mars will make more sense if you read this one first.

Cal Flint is a cowboy, who starts a ranch near the Bean Farm. Forced to buy Cal’s horse Cy, so that Cal won’t beat Cy to death, Freddy thinks he has a bad deal. But then Cy teaches Freddy how to ride, and the fun begins! Then Cal gets mad, because Freddy can ride a horse that he couldn’t stay on. He’s out to shoot Freddy and rob the First Animal Bank, but Freddy and his friends have a few tricks up their sleeves…
While I was reading Freddy the Cowboy, I was prepared to say that it wasn’t as good as some of the others. However, when you get to the last five chapters, the books really starts to get exciting! That makes up for the slower beginning. Also a good book to read, Freddy Rides Again contains more of Freddy’s adventures as a cowboy.
