A mysterious noise is driving Fred crazy—and he just can’t let it go.
When Fred hears a strange clicking sound coming from his golf cart, he and his friend Kenny set off on a playful adventure through the rainforests, beaches and towns of Costa Rica. No matter what they do, the sound just won’t stop…or will it?

Filled with humor, heart, and vibrant illustrations, this story is perfect for read-aloud time and young adventurers who love a good surprise.
An adorable book for my young one. Wonderful, and positive messages through out the book and great artwork that go with the story. My little one, liked looking for the same little creature on each page. An added joy to the storyline. -Jill Klemick

This is a really cute book with a great message! I loved the illustrations and my great-niece asked me to read it again and again. Now my husband and I keep saying “don’t be a Fred” to each other! -Emily
I ordered this book to read to my great-nephews. The adults laughed because we all know a "Fred" in our lives. The kids laughed because it was such a cute story. They said they would like to meet Fred! I feel the book is a wonderful blend of humor and storytelling. -Kathleen
