Review
“A perfectly designed read-aloud for the bedtime staller. A sheer delight!” ―Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Fred's eager-to-please look and the constant trouble he gets into give this the makings of a bedtime favorite.” ―Publishers Weekly
“Ismail cleverly uses exclamations and rhetorical questions to liven up the familiar lets-get-ready-for-bed storyline. This book works well as a read aloud, as it begs for audience participation, and will likely become a bedtime favorite.” ―School Library Journal
“Fred is illustrated in watercolors that seem to soak through the page in thick blotches and rich, saturated colors. The effect is a wonderful sense of motion.” ―Booklist

- Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2023Whenever we went to the library my daughter wanted to check out this book; so I decided to permanently add it to our bookshelf. It's beautifully illustrated, and my kids love substituting their name for "Fred". A nice lighthearted book for bedtime.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2019I enjoyed reading this as an adult!! It's sweet and amusing and the illustrations are super cute! Also arrived in an excellent condition! Many thanks :)
- Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2017Love this book and the illustrations in it.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2015Arrived fine. Perfect for my almost 2yrs old grandson
- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2015It's a fun story!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2015Nice book on time
- Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2014This book reminds me of another favorite, The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear. Fred, the dog, never speaks, except through his actions and the illustrations. The only voice is my own, as I read it. My toddler eats it up every time and loves to act out different silly places to "sleep" before he goes to bed ("That's not your bed, Fred!").
- Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2015Kind of boring for adults, but the 2-Year-Old LOVES it. He'd rather hear this one book over and over than to choose the multiple books for story time that he used to before we got it.
