The Fourth of July is no day for danger but thatâs just whatâs in store for the Bean Farm gang in Freddy and the Perilous Adventure. It all seemed so strange and exciting at first: Emma and Alice, Bean Farmâs favorite ducks, and the intrepid Freddy, off for a glorious balloon ride to celebrate the nationâs birthday. Of course, if Freddy and Emma and Alice and the other denizens of Bean Farm had known what was really in store for the brave aerialists in the Balloon Ascension they might just have remained quietly at home, listening to Freddyâs poetry or to the boastful crowing of Charles.
