I have some vague memory of devouring about two dozen books in
grades 3-5, all having to do with Freddie the Pig and the other very
human-like animals who shared the farm with him.  As I recall,
Freddie was a part-time detective, sometime politician/baseball
manager/spy, dealt with Martians, and was the deadly enemy of a gang
of rats.  If this blur of images reminds anyone of the author's name
(a woman, as I recall, who wrote in the late 50's-early 60's), I'd
like to hear about it!
