Fredy's Journey: A Frog on a Motorcycle Ride

Fredy's Journey: A Frog on a Motorcycle Ride is the story of Fredy a frog who meets a motorcyclist and photographer (Bo'del) at the pond in Michigan and rides across country on Bo'del's motorcycle to go "where the birds can fly".Fredy leaves behind his friends at the pond to venture further than frogs can hop having Bo'del write notes home to his friends at the pond. Sending photo's and travel stories from 11 states. Fredy travels from Michigan through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona being photographed, meeting humans, hearing of scary animals (rattlesnakes are bad) and meeting nice animals as well.Fredy's needs are simple, seeing new places, lots of water to play in and bugs to eat. Each state offers something different.35 pages illustrated with 46 full color photographs and a map of Fredy's route, Fredy's Journey is an entertaining travelogue for parents to read to preschool age children or for beginning readers.Fredy's Journey Pg. 14 Mississippi letter home:Last night we stopped in Hattiesburg Mississippi because Bo'del saw a sign that said motel and laundromat. I think it's silly these humans want to clean clothes all the time. We were supposed to ride to the Gulf of Mexico tonight. He was tired, so was I, so I guess it's okay.In the morning LOOK AT MY PICTURE! We made it to the Gulf of Mexico! This is my ultimate portrait, proof that I can go where the birds fly. There are lots of Seagulls like the ones that visit the pond, and Pelicans. They are VERY scary looking but Bo'del says they eat fish and probably have never seen a frog before. I think I'll stay close to Bo'del. Pelicans don't seem to like him.This is part of the Atlantic Ocean and nobody, not even the birds can see across it. It's even bigger than Lake Michigan! The water tastes terrible, really salty. I hope we find some pond water when we get to Louisiana.Fredy (and Bo'del)
