Brooks wrote 26 of them, and they are all amusing and original. His imagination really takes off when he describes life at the North Pole with Santa Claus and, as always, there is an ironic adult undertone when he talks about the sailors and their "appreciation" of Freddy's plumpness! North Pole also features Barnyard Tours, Inc., the first of many Freddy business ventures. Others of note include the First Animal Bank, the Bean Home News and, of course, Freddy's work as a detective. It's a fun, seasonal read. Originally "More to and again" as a sequel to To and Again -- this time the animals go to the North Pole, and the story is more frankly fantasy, as the North Pole is the home of Santa Claus, and they have a jolly time with him. --I still recall Freddy's song about the pole "O Pole, O Pole, a glorious Pole, to you I sing this song/ Where bedtime comes but once as year/ Since the nights are six months long..."He comes back with them and has a hilarious encounter with a traffic cop and a judge, but gets off by telling the judge what he brought him for Christmas long ago. (The scene is a little like the trial scene in The Voyages of Dr, Dolittle). This is the second Freddy book. I can see why this one wasn't in my public library when I was a child. Brooks didn't know what to do with his characters the second time out and the plot sags in the middle. That said, this is the book that explains why the animals can talk and it's referred to in some of the later books. So if I were still a kid, I'd want to read this book, even if it is clunky Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Freddy the pig and his barnyard friends run the very successful Barnyard Tours, Inc., but on a trip to the North Pole some sailors cause trouble for them and Santa, who, when the animals drive off the bad men, offers a sleigh ride home. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Preposterous, but fun story, with some genuinely hilarious moments. Great story to read to young children, or to enjoy as an adult if you're capable of suspending every shred of realistic logic from your brain. ( )
