Illustrated by
Rosie Reeve.
Fred may be the family dog, as Grace's sister Sarah reminds her, but to Grace he has always been her very own special friend. After an ill-conceived attempt at preventing him from playing with Sarah and her friends, Grace learns that Fred (shown in expressive, good-natured illustrations) has enough love to go around. A useful message delivered with a light touch.
