So what are you waiting for? Join Jungle Jim, Perdy, Jack, Fred the Snake, and many more as they discover the endless adventures the world has to offer!
When Fred the Snake and Friends explore USA-East was a pleasure to read. The story is well written and aimed at both educating and entertaining the young reader. It’s great to see books like these that teach children in fun ways rather than using textbooks, as children tend to lose interest quickly if what they read is boring. That won’t be the case with this book as I am sure any child reader will have the time of their life! The story is full of adventure and rhyme is used to help children learn more easily. The bright and colorful illustrations by Bonnie Lemaire are adorable and creative; children will love them! I want to wish Peter Cotton all the best in his future writing, and I can’t wait for the next books! Congrats on the wonderful book, it will surely be a huge success with any young reader.
