This book is about two kids exploring and having fun with their uncle. I liked this book because they stood together and they were nice to each other.

My 8 year old read this in one sitting she enjoyed it so much!
Wonderful chapter book! Freddy and Linda shows how relationships should be filled with love, respect, and positivity. So many books these days depict kids taunting each other, siblings bickering, and just bad behavior all around. This one is great to show how life really is and should be!
It is a fun way to learn how to become friends!
This is a very nice story. Freddy and Linda are sweet friends, and we liked all the animals in each chapter, especially the hummingbird. This is a great read-aloud for younger children, and my third grader also enjoyed reading it independently.
One morning at breakfast, Mother said, “Freddy, the new house next door has been sold. A family with a six-year-old child is moving in today.” The new girl’s name is Linda, and the two children become fast friends, sailing boats in the pond, taking care of an injured hummingbird, and saving ducks from a waterfall.
“Children imitate the behaviors they see in books. Thus, we should fill children’s minds with the best role models, such as the characters Freddy and Linda, who are kind, positive, creative, and respectful. Freddy and Linda is an example of how completely clean, well-written literature can be fun and engaging without including any of the potty language, negativity, or disrespect so rampant in children’s literature today. This feel-good book is a little gem for your home library.”—Jenny Phillips
