This story was about a big dog named Fred and a small dog named Ted. Both of the dogs lived in the same house and Ted slept in the big bed and Fred slept in the small bed. The next day both asked each other if they got any sleep and they both said no. A bird flew by and told them that Fred needed to sleep in the big bed and Ted needed to sleep in the small bed. This story teaches children to not make smaller problems into a big problem and try to solve the smaller problems first.

Fred and Ted are friends but opposite in every way. They go on a vacation together and encounter a problem that they must solve. Good book for learning about opposites and color because everything Fred likes is green and everything Ted likes is red.

Big dog and little dogs are opposites in every way.

Simple enough for any kid with the bare basic proficiency in reading :)

Or, you could read it aloud to a younger child, that works too.

My nieces (5 and 2.5) request this book often enough. I'm not sure what grabs them - the opposites, Fred's plain bad luck, the silly problem and solution at the end - but they do like it a lot. ( )
