...Yes, the whole Starbucks thing was pretty funny. <br /><br />My kids have read the sequel, and they like it, for what that's worth. I haven't yet. <br /><br />My kids do enjoy the Freddy books, but I haven't read any of them yet. They sound interesting, based on your description.

I checked out the sequel, but returned it half-way: the jokes were strained and not really funny, I thought.<br />Do you and your children know the Freddy the Pig books? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddy_the_Pig My child's first one was Freddy the Detective, when he was in his Sherlock Holmes phase, and he went on to read all 26 and listen to all the audio books available. They truly are timeless. After the 2000 election, all the charges and counter-charges were perfectly understandable to a 10-year-old because they had all happened in Freddy the Politician. The Cold War was described in child-accessible terms in Freddy and the Flying Saucer Plans, women's equal rights in Freddy and the Perilous Adventure, etc., etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
