Freddy is ready -- for 2nd Grade! It's almost Christmas, and Freddy is thrilled when his teacher tells the class that they'll be doing a Secret Santa gift swap. He can't wait to make a special present for one of his friends -- until Freddy picks the worst name in the class! Freddy can't believe it, but maybe with some help from his friends he can be the best Secret Santa ever!.

"Everyone at Freddy's school is playing the new video game Wonder World--everyone except Freddy. He doesn't even own the game yet! And even if he can get the money, get to the store before it sells out, and play, play, play...can he be the first kid in second grade to reach level ten?"--Page [4] of cover.

"This Christmas, Freddy's class is making gingerbread houses to donate to a local children's hospital. Everyone has a great idea of what to bring for decorations -- everyone, that is, except Freddy! If he can think up the perfect ingredient, this season will be totally sweet!"--Page [4] of cover.

Envious because Robbie always brings the most exciting things to school for show-and-tell, Freddy rescues a baby bird that has fallen from its nest and has to find a way to get it to school without his mother or teacher noticing.

"Freddy's friends can't wait to try the haunted hayride at the Halloween festival -- especially Freddy's new friend, Josh. The hayride is supposed to be really scary! But when Max bets Josh that Freddy will be too much of a fraidy-cat to join them, Freddy is determined to be brave ... no matter what!"--Page [4] of cover.

While Freddy is excited about the class trip to the aquarium and seeing his favorite exhibit, the sharks, he is not sure he can pass the shark quiz.

Freddy Thresher and the rest of his first-grade class learn about fire safety and what firefighters do while on a field trip to the local firehouse.
