This book is about somebody who lives in a refrigerator. He cleans it up and turns the light on and off. And there are a bunch of short stories about some of his adventures. I liked the cover and the pictures. There was just the right amount of pictures to tell the story. I liked lots of different things about the book like the Fridge Olympics. I also liked how the person who wrote the story was creative like making the bed out of ice and the lamp out of an icicle. I liked how there was an “Icycle” (instead of a bicycle) in the story. I liked the book, it was really funny. I would rather have someone read it to me than read it myself. I think boys and girls 8 and under would like this book.

The show ended January 1, 1984. Once you’ve met Chilly Billy and heard of his adventures inside the refrigerator, you’ll never open the fridge door in quite the same way again.

Chilly Billy is the little man who lives in your fridge and turns the light on and off. But that’s not all he does! He also cleans up leaks and spills; re-organizes the contents depending on the time of day (e.g., breakfast items in the front in the morning); adjusts the temperature depending on the weather forecast; and does so much more. The author has indeed created a very imaginative setting for this most unusual and unique main character. He did such a great job in fact that my children really pondered whether we had a Chilly Billy living in our fridge. Judging by the state of our fridge, I would say that it speaks for itself! lol
