Fred is
an adorable pup who wants to be obedient and make his owner happy. Fred has mastered all the commands but can’t
figure out what is expected of him when he hears the word “Fred”. One day while Fred is playing, he finds
himself in trouble and his owner rescues him and gives him lots of love while
cooing his name, “Fred”. For the first
time Fred understands that it’s his name and he has been doing a great job “Fredding”
all along.
Oh, my good heavens Fred is
the cutest dog ever! His big bulbous
eyes and pug-like features make him so endearing. What a cute book, especially for dog
lovers. The text rhymes and makes for a
fun read aloud, but really the appeal of this book is the illustrations.
