This is the eighth book in the series
about Fred and his friends, and the second in the planned trilogy of exploring special places in the United States. Join the fun and educational adventures from Texas to Vegas.
British-born semi-retired Professor of Medicine in Charleston, SC, widely traveled and author of many medical books. He wrote the first story about Fred the snake getting squished (and mended) when his kids were young, to teach them how (not) to cross the road. When they had their own children, they asked "what happened to Fred-Fred" (so-called because he was in two pieces initially). So, Peter dusted it off and found a publisher. It seemed popular and fun, so there are now 8 books (beautifully illustrated by Bonnie Lemaire) about Fred the friendly snake. After recovering from squishness, Fred has gone to school, welcomed Jungle Jim and other animals, explored Charleston, enjoyed the beach and taken his friends camping. Books 7,8 ans 9 have Fred and friends exploring the cities and sights of USA.
The midwest book review said "Move over for Fred-Fred, Lewis Carroll"
Starting at a rodeo in Texas, Fred and his friends explored famous places and sights of some central states. After marveling at Mount Rushmore, they toured Yellowstone park, enjoyed panning for gold in Colorado, admired the Canyons, checked out the Apache nation and the Desert museum in Tucson. They ended up in Las Vegas where Fred and Bernadette were married! Soon they will set out for California, Alaska and Hawaii!
