Freddi the Dog by Lisa and Randy Herman (illustrated by Bruce Hammond) is a book based on the Herman’s real life 11 year old English Bull Terrier. Freddi, a girl whose full name is Fredericka is a sweet and lovable dog who has a tiny little naughty bone in her body that when tickled, makes her do naughty things. One day that itty bitty bone accidentally got tickled and she ate everything in site including a telephone, grandpa Joe’s underware and a pillow. When the family came home and discovered the mess that Freddi had made they sent her to time out outside. She got sick from everything she ate and had to go to the vet to see Dr. Combover. Her tummy was x-rayed and it was discovered everything she ate- no wonder she wasn’t feeling well! The doctor fixed her up and she got to go home with her family.
Freddi the Dog 
was a really cute book which my kids enjoyed. They though all of the stuff she ate was so silly. Even sillier was that she though the pillow looked like a marshmallow and the telephone like a hotdog! I loved the way the text in the book was written for emphasis making it really fun to read.
Children with pets can probably relate. We had a dog while I was growing up that would always chew up and spread a box of Kleenex all over the hosue when we left him home alone. Just like a toddler, they throw fits. Even children without pets will find this book amusing. My kids sure did!

I was not impressed. I read this to my Kindergarten class and although they did sit and listen, this book was not a favorite. I noticed during free time this book was not chosen even once.
