Freddy the Pig Series

Freddy the Pig is the central figure in a series of over 20 books written in the mid-1900s by author Walter R. Brooks. Not only are they fun, hilarious, clever, and very well written, but they teach values such as kindness, positive attitude, sharing, responsibility, and teamwork, without seeming preachy. Some of the books are out of print, but you can often find used copies. These books are great, but my daughter lost interest after a few of them. The books do not have to be read in order, but they make more sense by following the recommended order.
