Life of Fred Dogs

Is that all you will learn? No!

Like the title says – this is about the Life of Fred and this means that you and your children will learn so much more than just maths.

You will learn about our place in the dance of life and making the right choices and what can cause unclear thinking. Children will have fun learning new words in English and finding out some weird Middle and Old English sayings. You may even be tempted to read Fred’s favourite book – Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe. 

As if that is not all, you will have fun with learn Morse Code from A–Z, the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and Tennyson’s In Memoriam. And of course, we all need to know about adopting a dog and learning about how to care for it (or 30)!

As with all Life of Fred books, they are non-consumable and will be sued again and again. The answers are included in the textbook. Once you have completed this book, you will be ready for Life of Fred, Edgewood
