"The book's best element is its balance of educational information and an entertaining tone [that] stokes curiosity and a spirit of adventure." -Kirkus Reviews
Jim drove again so they could see,
the national park Yo-sem-it-e.
With Sequoia trees so high,
they really seem to touch the sky.
Join Fred the Snake and his adventurous friends as they continue their exciting journey across the western United States. In When Fred the Snake and Friends Explore USA West, the gang travels from the bright lights of Hollywood and the Golden Gate Bridge to the snowy landscapes of Alaska and the tropical beaches of Hawaii.
Along the way, Fred and his friends visit movie sets in Los Angeles, ski in Lake Tahoe, explore Yosemite National Park, tour Alcatraz Island, and take in breathtaking views from Seattle's famous Space Needle. Their adventure continues to Alaska, where they sail past whales and icebergs and ride dog sleds across the tundra, before heading to Hawaii to surf the waves of Waikiki Beach, visit Pearl Harbor, and camp beside the volcano Mauna Kea.
Bursting with friendship, humor, and adventure, this charming picture book inspires curiosity and a love for exploration.
"...a delightful read for young adventurers and parents who want to introduce their kids to the wonders of travel. The rhymes are catchy, the illustrations are vibrant, and the humor keeps it light and engaging.... Fred's latest adventure is a great pick." -Literary Titan
"...an excellent tool for teaching children about the geography of the United States and related topics [and] a great way for them to learn while being entertained." -Readers' Favorite
