Freddy & Frito and the Clubhouse Rules

Freddy and Frito play together every day—sometimes at Frito's and sometimes at Freddy's. But there are rules. Rules aren't fun! So what do these best buddies do? They build their own clubhouse in a tree in the park! With no rules, there's plenty of fun—until all of their friends come by for a party, and suddenly Freddy and Frito wish for a way to make them all leave!

Like Mo Willems's Elephant and Piggie and the classic Frog and Toad, Freddy and Frito are a perfect pair. With adorable art and relatable text, Freddy & Frito and the Clubhouse Rules captures all the most important moments of friendship in a joyful, rambunctious story.

I wish we had a place of our own!

Every day, Freddy and Frito play together—sometimes at Freddy's and sometimes at Frito's.

Freddy's house is tidy. Frito's is loud. But both houses have rules. Don't do this! Don't do that!

One summer day when neither house will do, the two boys hatch a splendid plan. Everything goes well. That is . . . until it doesn't.

In her exuberant debut as both author and illustrator, Alison Friend illuminates a truth about friendship: best friends stay together both in fun times and in frustrating ones, too.

This playful, lighthearted lesson about peacekeeping and place-keeping serves as the introduction of Friend’s Freddy & Frito, and readers will look forward to their further adventures. - Kirkus Reviews

Friend’s digitally-colored pencil drawings have painterly detail, and the expressive animals have plenty of child appeal. - School Library Journal
