Ready, Freddy! Ready, Set, Snow! by Abby Klein illustrated by John McKinley

#16 in series
Freddy's class is competing against the other 1st grade class in the Winter Olympics.  At lunch Freddy makes a bet with the class bully that he can beat him in the snowshoe race (when in fact he has never worn snowshoes!!).  His true character is tested when the bully falls in the race and his snowshoes are tangled.
Fun activities in the back (trivia, craft ideas).
Points to discuss:  betting, name calling (Princess Poopyhead, stupid, brat, creep), lying to mom and sister covers for him, siblings are rude to each other
Guided Reading Level: N (3rd grade)
Grade Equivalent Level: 2.1
