Anyone who has small children knows that this book is non-fiction.  Beautifully illustrated it tells the story of Fred who is up and about on his adventures at night while everyone else sleeps.  In the story the everyone else is animals.  In real life, it’s the parents.  Lots of rhyming and lyrical couplets, the story is a great read aloud.  However I would hesitate to recommend purchasing for a school library simply because the audience is so limited.  I would recommend it for a parent with a young child.
