Fun with Ed and Fred

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ben Hodson. While Ed runs, jumps, and swims at the beach, "Fred is not at the beach." Talking back directly to the narrator, Fred demands a turn at the fun. Metafiction, slapstick shenanigans, and high-energy cartoon-style illustrations merge seamlessly in this entertaining story that emphasizes fifty-three sight words and highlights the ways in which subtle variations in word choice and sequence can drastically alter meaning.
