Freddy's life is filled with spirited adventures and everyday fun, from the arrival of a new neighbor and boat racing in the duck pond to a pony ride, a hummingbird, and a puppet. And one day he goes fishing with Uncle Ben and ends up tending store!

Each chapter tells one complete incident, and the simple style and large type make this an ideal book for first readers.

Jane Quigg, from her wide experience as a teacher, knows just what children like to read about. The very real boys and girls and their adventures are delightfully illustrated by Barbara Cooney.
