“Young readers and listeners anywhere in the world will recognize Fred's need to wiggle…..Schneider's pastel paintings show the suppressed energy through the changing colors of these two playful characters. All the anthropomorphized sea creatures have large eyes and expressive faces; they would show well to a group.” ― Kirkus ReviewsFred tries to stay still, but it's so hard to keep that bouncing feeling inside. Fred can't help it. He just wants to play. A positive book about friendship and children who are just a little bit more energetic than others. For big and small readers ages 4 and up. At Clavis, our focus is on what’s best for children. We believe that books play an important role in each new phase in life. Our toddler books are tailored for every stage from 0 to 3 and focus on the five most important themes in their life: daily life, skills, emotions, the world, and language development. The age range and theme of every book in our toddler series can be found on the back cover in the form of a colored train.
