Description:

Ready for a nap, young Fred the Basset Hound goes to his room after an energetic morning of play and the unthinkable happens:  his favorite comfy, red bed has disappeared!  After a search of his house that involved an exchange with a less than helpful mouse, Fred sets out on a journey outside to find his bed.  Along the way he meets a sedentary frog, an enthusiastic cricket, and a sympathetic owl.  The dilemma of his lost bed intensifies as Fred realizes he has strayed too far from home without telling his father that he left.  A Bed for Fred is a delightful journey relatable to young children, figuring out the world they live in as well as their first experiences with complication and change.

Review:

This was simply adorable. Poor little Fred, he couldn't find his bed. He went all around searching and asking his friends if any of them have seen it. But not one of them had seen it. Poor Fred he searched and searched until his father found him. After telling his dad he could not find his bed, his father had something he wanted to show him. It's a wonderful surprise for him as well as it solved his problem of the missing bed.

This such a cute story and so are the illustrations. This would be the perfect story for bedtime reading. It's the right amount of pages so little kids will not lose interest or focus.
