Overview

He's the king of breaking wind. But when a wild animal appears, will this snow kid's ice-cold hiney heat things up for fun? Nobody does rump trumpets like Freddie. From science to music to art, the stinky eight-year-old flushes all his schoolmates out with his incredible room-emptying farts. And except for his nose-picking bestie, Freddie fears his tasty toots are wafting away all his potential friends. Ashamed when his teachers and classmates band together to ban his butt-blasts, Freddie is shocked when holding on to his gas starts to make him swell like a balloon. But the blocked-up boy is ready to rip a big one when a hungry polar bear invades the school and makes a beeline for the poor boy's massively bloated belly. Can the flaky farter outroar the growler and turn his fumes into friendships?

4 Stars/5Loved it! A hilarious look at how to embrace our differences while working toward a common goal. SYNOPSISFreddie the snow kid doesn't fit in. He's the only snow kid in Snowmania with gas. No one hangs out with him, except for his best friend Rosie, who's a little strange herself. Freddie and Rosie learn to embrace the things that make them different when a polar bear invades their school. Freddie's gift is a fun book about the friendship and learning that the things that make us different are often our strengths. Freddie's Gift is not the first book that author, and cartoonist Jennifer Tremblay has written and hopefully, it will not be her last. In addition to writing this book, she is also the illustrator! Freddie's Gift is about snow kids in Snowmania, an island that is located between Canada and the North Pole. Freddie and his classmates go to school during the day while their parents go to work. Freddie only has one friend at school. He and Rosie are friends because they are different from everyone else. They each have their unique gifts and can appreciate the differences. Freddie's Gift is hilarious. I can see preschool children laughing hysterically while being read this story. The adults will also find it humorous. There are a few bits of humor that children might not get, but the adults will appreciate this addition. The illustrations are fantastic and perfect for the story. No imagination is needed to read this story, as you can see clearly what is going on. The only thing that might be a turn-off for some parents is the word fart. This book will be a wonderful addition to any home with a young child. I would also recommend it to both public and school libraries. I can see this one becoming a timeless children's classic. It is very well done, and children will want to read it over and over again. I read it twice and will go back and read it again before submitting this review! REVIEWED BY Cindy Davis
