Freddy the Cowboy

by Walter R. Brooks and Walter Rollin Brooks

Book Overview

As a recent USA Today feature about the Freddy phenomenon noted, the Freddy books brilliantly illustrate the cardinal virtues: "fair play and a good sense of humor." In Freddy the Cowboy, Freddy buys a pony, learns to ride, and winds up in a tussle with the rascaliest varmint in Centerboro. It seems Mr. Flint, owner of the dude ranch, is plotting to rob the First Animal Bank where the animals keep their valuables. And from there on in Freddy and Flint develop a mutual dislike for one another-so much so that Flint lets it be known he will shoot Freddy on sight With the aid of a brave mouse, the Horrible Ten, and the Bean Farm gang-not to mention Cy, his trusty mount-Freddy shoots it out with Flint in the aisles of the cosmetics department of the Busy Bee. The Wild West was never like this

Customer Reviews

Freddy The Cowboy

At my age of 67, I thoroughly enjoyed Freddy The Cowboy. It brought back wonderful childhood memories of reading several Freddy books. I laughed out loud at parts of the book. So ridiculous and impossible, yet so delightfully entertaining. My book was in excellent condition, just like new. I am an avid reader, everything from Scriptures and spiritual-help books,to current events, government, mysteries, romance,etc, and yes, these delightful children's books. I am still a child at heart. Will buy more Freddys.

Wonderfully Funny.

It is wonderful espacially since it is intruducing the ten horrible with little tin knives and there chant and war cry and another good one is freddy the pilot and this series is wonderful and highly recomeneded for people of all ages. Caleb A. Craig.

Not just a children's classic!

Freddy the Cowboy is one of the funniest books I've read! Freddy's adventures with Cal Flint, the picklefaced cowboy, and attempted riding will keep you in stitches. The farm animals each have their own personalities, some may remind you of a neighbor or brother. The rhymes are great, and you will love the Horrible Ten! Must read!
