Where is Fred? by Edward Hardy & illustrated by Ali Pye


Fred the caterpillar loves to play hide and seek. This is especially important as Gerald the crow would love to eat Fred for his lunch. Join Gerald as he hunts high and low for his meal, becoming ever more suspicious at the familiar-looking white fluffy objects on various people...

I really enjoyed this picture book! It's lots of fun with colourful and brilliant illustrations. It's well written and the use of different font styles is fantastic as it really adds that extra bit of character to the book. Gerald is the sort of silly character that children will love. It's a great book to read aloud with a child (or group of children) as you have the interactive element of finding Fred as well as the humour provided by Gerald, the fun illustrations and Fred's surprise at the end (with the potential for a nice science tie-in).

I give it 10/10!
