Homework Hassles (Ready, Freddy! Series #3)

by Abby Klein Narrated by Fred Berman

Overview

Watch out, Junie B., there's a new kid on the block! It's Freddy Thresher, a 1st grader who knows it's a jungle out there. Here's the third in a new series by an elementary teacher who's seen it all.

Freddy Thresher has a problem: a really, really, big problem. His teacher wants the class to do reports on nocturnal animals, and everybody but Freddy has a really cool animal to study. How will Freddy find one? When his best friend, Robbie, says the two boys should have a sleepover and sneak outside at night, Freddy makes a huge mistake and ends up getting his late-night wish in a very unexpected way!

Editorial Reviews

As usual, Freddy Thresher is in trouble and, as usual, it's not his own fault. Well, not exactly. Freddy just wants to excel at a school assignment that all his classmates find easy, but somehow disaster is just around the corner. A good-natured chapter book for boys, ages 6 through 9.

School Library Journal

Gr 1-2--This third installment in the series puts first-grader Freddy Thresher smack dab in a classroom quandary-how to get his schoolwork done on time. When Mrs. Wushy assigns an oral report about a nocturnal animal, the boy goes overboard with his research and ends up with a broken bone in the middle of the night. Alas, the cast on his arm isn't enough to postpone the due date, but his sister and best friend help him to pull through and complete his project. McKinley's illustrations exaggerate Freddy's predicaments and underscore the sometimes nasty personalities of his sister and a classmate. Their hostile intrusions spice up this otherwise bland but solid story.-Pat Leach, Lincoln City Libraries, NE Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
