Ed & Fred Flea is a hilarious and entertaining little book.  The flowing rhyme is easy to read and the pictures contribute meaning and humor.  Kids laugh at a grumpy voice for Bad Fred, the “Abandon Dog!” tick, the weasels lined up for medication administration, and the chicken’s spotted eggs.  Read-alouders enjoy the humor and the vocabulary plus an added bonus of a moral at the end: mean, selfish, dishonesty leads to misery.  Ed & Fred Flea is a must-read!
