About this title

Synopsis

“...a colorful, brilliant story that will introduce children to its subtle message of harmony and its endless visual experience of fun, laughter, and friendship.” —Readers’ Favorite

Daddy said, “Let’s have some fun,
enjoy a day out in the sun.
The forecast is for lovely weather.
Get our beachy stuff together.”

Jack’s dad surprises the gang with a fun-filled trip to beautiful Dewees Island off the coast of South Carolina, where Fred the Snake and his friends spend the day soaking up the sun and enjoying the seaside. From fishing and swimming to building towering sandcastles beside the waves, the beach is full of excitement, laughter, and adventure.

But when Bernadette gets swept far out to sea on her floaty, the relaxing beach day suddenly turns into a daring rescue mission as Fred and his friends work together to bring her safely back to shore.

Perfect for children ages 3–8, this fifth book in the Fred the Snake series captures the fun and wonder of a day at the beach while gently teaching important lessons about water safety, friendship, and looking out for one another.

About the Author

Peter Cotton grew up in Herefordshire, England, and studied medicine at Cambridge University. He went on to become one of the most influential gastroenterologists of his generation, pioneering endoscopy procedures that changed how doctors treat patients and authored the primary endoscopy textbook. Over six decades he trained hundreds of physicians and lectured in more than fifty countries, working at three university hospitals, The Middlesex in London, Duke in North Carolina, and finally the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, where he now lives on the eco-sensitive Dewees Island. In 2012 Peter published his memoirs, The Tunnel at the End of the Light, and has since published the sequel, Reflections: After Leaving the Tunnel. Alongside his medical career, Peter has written ten award winning books for young children about Fred the friendly snake, having fun in rhyme with Jungle Jim, Perdy, Jack, and several animal friends. The books have received many five-star reviews, with all ten titles recognized with a Mom's Choice Gold Award. Peter enjoys presenting Fred at schools and libraries, travels widely to teach, and reflects on his life and career in his blogs and published memoirs. More at petercottontalesdotcom.
