It's eight o'clock: shaggy dog Fred's bedtime. Loosely rendered watercolor illustrations picture Fred on the move, anywhere but bed. Impressive double-page spreads show the pup nestled in a colorful flower patch, plunging headlong into a mud puddle, and shaking off after a bath before an eventual cozy concession. A satisfying, endearing bedtime story with lots of action and minimal, accessible text.
