COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Freddy is Framed submitted by Steve Amick on August 30, 2013, 10:33pm My mom read these to us when I was young and I'm doing the same with my son now. And man, it holds up. The thing I didn't get before was that Brooks seems to be reflecting certain political undercurrents of the day. This and its surrounding installments have WWII era stuff going on, and there seems to be hidden commentary about civil rights issues. We love Freddy.
