It’s Freddy Thresher’s turn for show-and-tell on Monday, and he'd sure like to find something as cool as the alligator head classmate Robbie brought for show-and-tell today. When he rescues a baby bird that has fallen from its nest, he names it Winger. If he can keep Winger hidden from his mom all weekend and sneak it to school on Monday without his teacher seeing it, he knows he’ll be the King of Show-and-Tell for sure!

At the back of the book, series author Abby Klein provides Freddy's Fun Pages, with activities and directions for making a winter bird feeder out of a pinecone. There are now more than a dozen easy chapter books in the humorous and very-easy-to-read Ready Freddy series, written by a perceptive first grade teacher.


Themes: ANIMALS—INFANCY. BIRDS. HUMOROUS FICTION. SCHOOLS. SHOW-AND-TELL PRESENTATIONS.
