Chronicle During Books Freddy and the Ignormus (Freddy the Pig #8)
A mysterious and fearsome creature called the Ignormus is living in the Big Woods. No one has actually gotten a good look at it but, because of the Ignormus, the animals live in terror of going into the Big Woods. Freddy the Pig makes the mistake of borrowing Mr. Bean's gun without permission for protection in the Big Woods and loses it. To make matters worse, someone leaves a bag of stolen oats in the pig pen and everyone, including Mr. Bean, believes that Freddy is the thief.From 1927 to 1958, Walter R. Brooks wrote 26 books starring one of the great characters in American children's literature: Freddy the Pig. The Freddy books, widely beloved as classics and deemed the American equivalent of the Pooh stories, are a remarkable achievement in children's literature.

Walter R. Brooks (January 9, 1886 August 17, 1958) was an American writer best remembered for his short stories and children's books, particularly those about Freddy the Pig and other anthropomorphic animal inhabitants of the "Bean farm" in upstate New York.Born in Rome, New York, Brooks attended college at the University of Rochester and subsequently studied homeopathic medicine in New YorkMy expectations were high. It seems like many children's books I have read, only I read the others as a child and so they are colored by happy memories.
I remember this one fondly. It is packed with action just suited to a child's taste.
The Freddy books are really delightful! They are wonderfully written with endearing characters, and Freddy and the Ignormus is one of our favorites thus far. Although we just discovered Brooks' books this year, they were written in the 1920s through 1950s (I just read that they went out of print in the 1960s, which may be why I never read them as a child). Fortunately, they are back in print. My only problem is that when I try to check out the actual books, my son resists. He has grown
Who is the frightening creature in the big woods who is scaring the farm animals? Is Freddy brave enough to find out? Or is Freddy to blame for these mysteries? And why has things like veggies and Mr. Bean's gun been disappearing? Another fun romp as Freddy uses his head and lack of superstition to discover the miscreant behind these actions. Slightly preachy but enough good story to make up for the deficiency.
Freddy is the most clever pig ever! He even writes poetry.
Really fun book! I had not heard of this series, but a friend mentioned it because we are headed to a Pig Festival this weekend. I think I'll have to read the rest of the Freddy books.
