The Books are educational as well as fun!

My nine books about Fred the friendly snake are primarily intended to amuse my grandchildren, and all children ages 3-8, but they also have some educational content, which has been acknowledged in several awards. The first “When Fred the Snake got Squished and Mended” was written to emphasize how (not) to cross the road, and that hospitals are good places, not too scary. In other stories we learn how to be helpful at school, that some mushrooms and berries are poisonous when camping, be careful when whitewater rafting and be sure to respect currents when swimming at the beach. My latest three books have Fred and friends exploring famous sights in USA from Charleston to Hawaii. The series “When Fred the Snake and Friends explore USA” cover the East coast, Central states and the West coast. They have fun learning about their country.

I also enjoy reading my books to groups, either in person, or on zoom.
