    About this audiobook

    Returning from a riding trip through New England, Freddy the pig, Jinx the cat, and Samuel Jackson the mole are surprised at the cool reception they get from the people of Centerboro. It seems that some animals have been raiding gardens, stealing bicycles, and breaking into houses. And they'e led by a pig that matches Freddy's description! As folks grow more and more upset, the animals of Bean Farm urgently try to uncover the true culprits before Freddy gets thrown into jail. But to solve this mystery, Freddy and friends are going to have to find a way to defeat a headless horseman--with the help of their own special dragon. A marvelous companion to adventures like Freddy the Detective and Freddy and the Flying Saucer Plans, Freddy and the Dragon offers everything listeners want to hear in a book: thrilling action, talking pigs, and a melodious reading by John McDonough.

      I like all Freddy books, but this one is superior to the rest. I fear the poppy poop pooop pooooopp hhahjajahahjajajajj oh and make sure to join silly Senidik or silly seargent mail your letter to 310 Quincy Avenue brooki

      Definitely not one of the best Freddy books. If you start here you'll have no idea why the series was popular. Jinx's character is a shadow of his former presence. The troopers are total bunglers. The animals aren't limited (or enabled) hardly at all by their given shapes and natures, but are instead simply clumsy (or strong, or winged) humans.

      Still, there are bits that are neat. I love that Alice and Emma (the white duck sisters) aren't frightened of the headless horseman - all that occurs to them, when they see it, is that the crook of one's arm is an awkward place to carry one's head. And I did like it when, once, Freddy's weapon of choice was a water pistol filled with cheap perfume. (But why only that time, and not the others?)

      Freddy the pig and his friends have to deal with a protection racket gang whose members apparently include animals --some people suspect dand his friends involved. The racketeers have fake hedless horseman, bbut Freddy's side tops it w9ith a dragon.
    • 4/5
      I recently decided to read all the Freddy books I'd missed as a child. The library didn't have this one in hardcopy, so I listened to the audio. It deals with some problems brought on by the book before this, and the plot has some nice twists and turns. As usual, the animals band together to set things right and even end showing up the New York State Police. Of course, there were no illustrations in the audio book, but I had fun trying to figure out what Weise would have decided to illustrate. I was sad this was the last one in the series. Clearly Brooks had another one in mind as there is an unkept promise at the end of this one.
