About this ebook
The Fourth of July is no day for danger but that’s just what’s in store for the Bean Farm gang in Freddy and the Perilous Adventure. It all seemed so strange and exciting at first: Emma and Alice, Bean Farm’s favorite ducks, and the intrepid Freddy, off for a glorious balloon ride to celebrate the nation’s birthday. Of course, if Freddy and Emma and Alice and the other denizens of Bean Farm had known what was really in store for the brave aerialists in the Balloon Ascension they might just have remained quietly at home, listening to Freddy’s poetry or to the boastful crowing of Charles.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Salvaged from a thrift bin, because I read, over and over, the one Freddy book my childhood library had. I'm so glad to have a chance to read this and would be thrilled to get my hands on any other in the series I could find.
Uncle Wesley is as insufferable as ever, but Alice and Emma gain the courage to stand up to him. The three cows make a brief but memorable appearance. Jinx's role is rather boring, and the assorted humans reveal a variety of behaviors that make the reader almost wish she or he were an animal.
Of course, the farmers Bean are ok. In fact, Mr. Bean ... knew what lots of people never learn: that no answer is better than the wrong one, and sometimes than the right one, too."
Some of the situations and vocabulary might be a little old-fashioned or advanced for modern children, but imo that's a good thing. I know I always loved learning new things from story-books!" - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Oh that Freddy! The situations this wonderful pig gets himself into and the way he gets out of same are priceless.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Freddy takes a balloon trip with Alice and Emma. Delightful as always.
