Customer Reviews

Ready Freddy Halloween

This is another Ready Freddy story of a great series witten for children. Ready Freddy series is a reliable and enjoyable read for 2nd to 5th graders.

I would recommend

My son loves these books! They make him laugh. I have purchased all of the Ready Freddy Books published so far and will continue to do so. He is 8 years old and they seem like the reading level is made for children his age.

My students love this book!

I teach first graders, and they absolutely love the "Ready, Freddy!" series of books. This particular book is about our hero, Freddy, getting to take home the class hamster, Harold, for the weekend. While Freddy's mother is not thrilled about the idea of any animal in her house, she finally relents and lets Freddy bring home the hamster. In true Freddy form, craziness ensues as soon as he gets Harold into the house. I strongly recommend the "Ready, Freddy!" series of books for students. While the words may be a little difficult for some first graders to read on their own, using this book to read to/with your child or class is a fun and engaging use of time.

Great for first grade boys

My first grader loves the Ready, Freddy series. We have all the books, and enjoy reading them together. The main character is a first grade boy who loves sharks. Freddy is a good kid, with a realistic relationship with his big sister, and simple (though important) problems. I read one chapter a night, and now that he's improving in reading, my son is starting to read some on his own! Also, each of the illustrations has the word "fin" hidden in it. It's fun to look for it. While we like Junie B., she can get into a bit of trouble and uses some language that we don't. Ready, Freddy is a better fit for us.

Ready Freddy is a great read!

This book was very funny. All of the illustrations had the word "FIN" cleverly hidden. I really enjoyed the story and the pictures....
