Freddy and the Pilot

Freddy the Pig, famous detective of Bean Farm, has his hands full. The comic book tycoon (and evil mastermind) Watson P. Condiment is trying to kidnap Mademoiselle Rose, the prize performer from Mr. Boomschmidt's circus. Freddy goes to great heights in his brand-new airplane to foil Condiment's flying henchmen and save Mr. Boomschmidt from financial ruin. But will he be able to come to the rescue without crashing into the north fence?

The Freddy books are "the American version of the great English classics, such as the Pooh books or The Wind in the Willows." (The New York Times Book Review)
