“The book’s best element is its balance of educational information and an entertaining tone [that] stokes curiosity and a spirit of adventure.” —Kirkus Reviews

Jim drove again so they could see,
the national park Yo-sem-it-e.
With Sequoia trees so high,
they really seem to touch the sky.

Join Fred the Snake and his adventurous friends as they continue their exciting journey across the western United States. In When Fred the Snake and Friends Explore USA West, the gang travels from the bright lights of Hollywood and the Golden Gate Bridge to the snowy landscapes of Alaska and the tropical beaches of Hawaii.

Along the way, Fred and his friends visit movie sets in Los Angeles, ski in Lake Tahoe, explore Yosemite National Park, tour Alcatraz Island, and take in breathtaking views from Seattle’s famous Space Needle. Their adventure continues to Alaska, where they sail past whales and icebergs and ride dog sleds across the tundra, before heading to Hawaii to surf the waves of Waikiki Beach, visit Pearl Harbor, and camp beside the volcano Mauna Kea.

Bursting with friendship, humor, and adventure, this charming picture book inspires curiosity and a love for exploration.

“...a delightful read for young adventurers and parents who want to introduce their kids to the wonders of travel. The rhymes are catchy, the illustrations are vibrant, and the humor keeps it light and engaging…. Fred’s latest adventure is a great pick.” —Literary Titan

“...an excellent tool for teaching children about the geography of the United States and related topics [and] a great way for them to learn while being entertained.” —Readers’ Favorite

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

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. The 7th and 8th books have Fred and friends exploring the cities and sights of USA.The midwest book review said "Move over for Fred-Fred, Lewis Carroll"And, Peter was not named after a rabbit.
