Synopsis
Fred the pet snake didn't know how to cross the road. He became Fred-Fred when run over by an ambulance and had to go to hospital. The doctor needed a special bendy thread that grows beneath large rhinos. Brave Jungle Jim got the thread, and Fred was mended. He will be careful in future

bio

Author Biography
British-born semi-retired Professor of Medicine in Charleston, SC, widely traveled and author of many medical books. I now have five rhyming children's books (beautifully illustrated by Bonnie Lemaire) about Fred the friendly snake. I wrote the first "When Fred the snake got Squished and Mended" when my kids were young, to teach them how not to cross the road. They called him "Fred-Fred" as a result. The midwest book review said "Move over for Fred-Fred, Lewis Carroll". More recently, Fred has gone to school, welcomed Jungle Jim and other animals, explored Charleston, and enjoyed the beach. And, I was not named after a rabbit.

Book Excerpt

When Fred the Snake got Squished and Mended

Fred was his name, but soon, instead,
we’ll have to call him ‘Fred-dash-Fred’,
for I’ll tell you how we made ends meet,
when he lost his head while crossing the street.
