內容簡(jiǎn)介:They are back in print—the verse stylings of Freddy the Pig. He’s been a detective, pilot, cowboy, adventurer, and more. Why not a poet? Of all pigs he’s the pink of perfection Of all pigs he’s the pearl beyond price; Though by no means the biggest Of all pigs he’s the piggest, And that will go everywhere twice. The weather, all animals (with special emphasis on the attributes of pigs), joy and sorrow, the utility of facial features, and a world of other subjects are poetically worked over by the world’s most distinguished pig-of letters, Freddy. Whether he is happy or sad, Freddy is ever the poet, his verse—both heavy and light—having created an international fuss among less gifted pigs and poets. It is all hearty good fun, and most of it rhymes. If Freddy’s poetry seems a bit hammy in spots, well, that is to be expected. About the Author: Walter R. Brooks wrote twenty-six hilarious books about Freddy, "that charming ingenious pig" (The New York Times). Brooks was also the creator of the long running television series about another beloved talking animal, "Mr. Ed." The Freddy books are available again, including Freddy the Detective, Freddy the Polititian, Freddy the Pilot, Freddy and the Space Ship, Freddy Goes Camping, Freddy Plays Football, and many more.
