See Fred Run. . . . At least, that’s what the book says. But Fred has other ideas, and the resulting battle of wills between the book and its protagonist-who-won’t-play-along makes for an uproarious read aloud, full of surprising twists. Best of all, the patterned text has been carefully crafted so that beginners can read it themselves--and learn more than 50 essential sight words while they're at it.
What readers are saying About see Fred run:
"Want to have fun teaching your school ready child to read? This is the book. It's great fun." -- Meg, Amazon reviewer
"This book kept a fidgety six-year-old engaged and laughing until the end. I've been working with a rising 1st grader on a weekly basis this summer and this book captured and kept his attention more than anything else we've read. It also included the majority of the sight words from his summer reading list." -- Heather, Goodreads reviewer
"With sight words and sight gags aplenty, this is a good choice for children learning to read." -- School Library Journal
"The sophisticated art and Fred's metafictive interactions with readers ("I want OUT of this book") add a degree of sophistication and humor that will please emerging readers of all ages. Share with fans of the companion book, Fun with Ed and Fred (2016)."--Booklist
“My daughter will read this every night. She's in kindergarten and loves it!” -- Amazon Customer
"Love these books! Makes practicing sight words with my son fun!” – Vicki, Amazon reviewer
"My first grader - a very new reader - laughed out loud at the end of the story. She was so proud! She'd never read a funny story all by herself before. Her previous [. . .] books were so boring. Now she had something fun to read to her older siblings!"--library reviewer on BiblioCommons
"This book is Awesome and a great beginner book. I bought it to read to my Grandson who is in Kindergarten. He ended up loving it and after one read through, he is reading it to me." -- Mike, Amazon reviewer
"This is a funny take on the old "See Spot Run" books of the past. Fred finds himself in the middle of a story and does not like the plot. The narrator is a rascal and throws Fred into all kinds of humorous situations. Fred is not amused. A hilarious way to learn sight words." -- Teresa, Goodreads
"Great to reinforce sight words! My daughter is learning sight words in Kindergarten and loves that she can read a lot of the words in this book!" -- Sandy K, Amazon reviewer
"See Fred Run is an easy reader book and it teaches kids 59 sight words that young readers need. This would be great to have in the classroom library for 1st graders." -- Marion, Goodreads
"Bolger works hard to tell a story with just 59 words—something of a feat . . . .Like Dick and Jane, Ed and Fred provide a way to practice a boring but necessary beginning reading skill." -- Kirkus Review
"I love humor in early readers!!!!!!!!!!" -- Joy, Goodreads
