This third Fred and Ted adventure finds the dogs preparing for and going on a short road trip. Children may enjoy the text's silly humor, but for beginning readers, there's not much story to reward their work. Classic illustrations and the voice of the text are sweet, simple, and consistent with the earlier books.

In their newest book, the two canine buddies fly to an island, where each experiences the beach in his own way. Ted sits in the shade, Fred sits in the sun. Ted hits the volleyball, Fred misses it, and so on, until the rising tide sends them running to their planes. Amiable cartoon illustrations make the simple text even more accessible.

Fred and Ted, two dog characters created by P.D. Eastman, the author's father, embark on a camping adventure. "That night, Fred was awake. Ted was asleep. The next morning...Ted woke up early. Fred woke up late." Portrayed with humor in the amiable cartoon illustrations, the many differences between the two friends will likely engage beginning readers.
