This book is very good and it rhymes! It is simple and the vocabulary is suitable for 4 year olds ay the youngest. It is beautifully illustrated by Ross Collins and it really stands out. If you see this books grab it while you can! And I think that anyone would enjoy it!
Freddie is scared of spiders, dogs, frogs, mice, snake and lots of other creatures! His dad gets cross and tells him to get over his fear and get each of these animals as a pet. Now Freddie loves and adores each animal and makes sure that the snakes are fed properly!

A delightful, entertaining, engaging and endearing book.

The combination of Ross Collins' gentle illustrations and Hilary Robinson's engaging text make this a special little treasure which children will want to return to over and over again. The simple rhyme of the prose powerfully conveys a deeply felt truth about the world and how children can come to terms with the animal kingdom by an act of childish faith. It is easy to be drawn into Freddie's world and share his traumas and ultimate triumph. Great care has been taken with each phrase and with every detail of the pictures and the two complement each other perfectly. Little boys (and girls), like Freddie, will feel greatly comforted as the story reaches its resolution.
