Summary (provided by publisher): Ride through Rubberwick in your Rolly Royce with Freddie and Peccary! This story collection is full of whimsical illustrations and laugh-out-loud adventures.
From solving problems like the mysterious knock-knocking door, to saving the day with a fresh batch of waffle batter, Freddie Parrott knows that he can always count on his loyal butler and best friend, Peccary.
My opinion: If P.G. Wodehouse had written about animals instead of adults the result might be this collection. Freddie is a bit scatterbrained with a wild sense of fashion, not unlike Bertie Wooster. Luckily his butler Peccary is there to keep him on track and remind him of details. There isn't a lot of complexity to these stories but they are a light-hearted bit of fun and would work well as a read-aloud in a classroom or as a family with a wider age-range of listeners since there's a little humor here for everyone.
