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"

"They geared up in leather chaps, and great big cowboy hats. Jim tried to rope a steer, but he missed, oh, dear.
Jack tried riding, Oh, hard luck! That big blacl bull can buck!"
Off to the Alamo and fun places north and west
