Fred Stays with Me - This story is about a girl, whose parents are divorced and share custody of her. She goes back and forth to her parents but always with her faithful companion Fred, the dog. The conflict begins when the girl stays at her moms, Fred barks at the neighbor's dog. He steals socks at her dad's place. Both her parents are upset because of the mess and problems that Fred does while at their homes and want to get rid of him. The girl tells both of them very determined " Fred Stays with Me!" In the end both parents find ways to help Fred stay out of trouble.
I liked this book because it provides the younger reader with issues dealing with divorce. It allows the reader a positive view on how parents can find ways to make the seperation easier on a child and most importantly how they can work together.
