Fred started as a bedtime story for my then young children, Andy and Nicky, a very long time ago. Andy and Nicky 1969 bedtime story text When Nicky had her children, she asked "What happened to Fred-Fred". I found the 1969 text and a wonderful illustrator, Bonnie Lemaire. We published the first book "When Fred the Snake got Squished and Mended" Perdy, Nicky and Jack Bonnie Perdy and Jack liked that book and others, so I asked their permission to include them in the new books. Jack went to the beach, where "he was trying to ride, two dolphins swimming side by side". Then Perdy joined the camping trip, and brought Coco their dog. Ooops, over the waterfall Jack and Perdy building a fire The family is completed when Kiki, their cat, joins the fun. Coco and Kiki with Jack Flying home in style The real Perdy and Jack have done their own exploring in USA. First stop DC, as in the 7th book Jack says "Wouldn't it be a lot of fun to have a ride in Airforce One?" Fred and I thank you, Perdy and Kiki and Jack and Coco, for your help with my books!
