About This Book
In Walter R. Brooks's classic "Freddy Goes to Florida," originally published as "To and Again," the intelligent animals of the Bean Farm decide to escape the harsh Upstate New York winter by traveling to Florida. Led by Freddy the pig, the diverse group, including Charles the rooster, Mrs. Wiggins the cow, and Hank the horse, faces numerous challenges. They outsmart human captors, navigate Washington D.C. with the help of senators, discover hidden gold, and escape hungry alligators in a swamp. This charming chapter book emphasizes themes of teamwork, perseverance, and friendship, making it an engaging read-aloud for younger children (4-7) and a delightful independent read for early elementary students (7-11). It's a wonderful introduction to classic animal fantasy and adventure.
Also published as *Freddy Goes to Florida*.
