Everyone over the age of thirity deserves respect and Fred the dog shows non and his owners seems… Okay with it… Hmm to me thats not teaching them what happens if you do not listen to your parents… Thats teaching kids that its okay to ignore what thwy are told… All of you people under twenty out there should be listening because i have learned this multiple times… If a grown up asks you to do something then you simply reply with a… Yes ma'am No ma'am Yes sir No sir Trust me… You NEVER want to be disrespectful… Fred i know was just a dog but he was a dog that children are reading about and he is setting a BAD example… Fred was told to do something and he just ignored it and decided to do what he wanted instead of what he was asked.

We see him playing in the flower bed, knocking things over, climbing up the trees, falling into leaves and the process of taking a bath. After he gets clean, instead of going into bed, he runs off again.

He hides in the watering can, behind books, climbs into the sink and even tries to hide under a rug.

The sho Time for Bed, Fred! The short sentences and simple vocabulary make this is a good read-aloud before bed. A child may even be able to read this book on their own without getting too distracted. The impressionism style conveyed through watercolor illustrations are very bright and dynamic.

Although Fred seems to be in trouble, the story line focuses on the silliness of Fred rather then the owner's anger and frustration. The bright colors such as yellow and green help coney this tone. The squiggly and fuzzy lines convey the chaos that Fred is causing by not going to bed. Fred is almost always in action, running away or shaking his fur which gives the pictures a lot of movement and life. When there is a sequence of things that Fred is doing, one side of the page will feature multiple snapshots of different settings and different actions while the opposing page will have a full-bleed, close-up action shot of Fred.

The plot relies both on the text and pictures, as just reading the text would be mundane and repetitive but the pictures add the visual and humor that is lost with just the text.
