A follow-up to I Will Love You Anyway, this touching rhyming story is full of friendship and tail wagging and will touch a chord with all children who love pets - by the bestselling author of the Kipper and Wibbly Pig series. 'Fetch!' and 'Sit!' and 'Stay!' I understand them all. Those are the words I know. But what is 'Fred'?

Reviews

A joyful romp of a story with plenty of humour... Charming illustrations complement the rhyming text to bring us a book that will be much-loved. Parents In Touch This is a poetic tale of a naughty puppy who is learning words but struggles to understand that 'Fred' is his name. Certain to have children in fits of giggles, but also a book with a heart of gold. Huffington Post Charmingly drawn, sweetly written, and it leaves you feeling all warm inside. Puptastic! The Bookbag Simultaneously hilarious and touching The Guardian This is an utterly charming and heart-warming read, told in rhyme and very easy to learn by heart. This is one book that will be enjoyed over and over by its readers whatever their age. Trust me. There's no one under 60 in our house and we can't leave it alone Teaching English (Primary Matters)
