The adorable Rudy is back and busy finding a gift for Mom in this charming companion to "Catch That Baby "
Little Rudy is determined to give Mom the best present ever--but nothing seems to be working His monstrous block tower topples, the floral bouquet doesn't turn out as pretty as he hoped, and his perfect paintings are sabotaged by the family dog. Will Rudy ever find a special gift for Mom?
Nancy Coffelt and Scott Nash have created a sweet and funny companion to "Catch That Baby " This delightful read-aloud shows you that sometimes, the perfect present is in the last place you look.

Told from the point of view of a young child whose parents are divorced, Fred Stays with Me follows the child and her dog, Fred, from one parent's house to the other's, giving the child a sense of continuity and stability. With a simple text and kidlike language, the story expresses and addresses a child's concerns, highlights the friendship between child and pet, presents a common ground for the parents, and resolves conflict in a positive way. Tricia Tusa's charming and whimsical artwork adds a light, happy feel to this poignant but not overly sentimental story.
