Sometimes I live with my dad. But Fred stays with me. <p/> Told from the point of view of a young child whose parents are divorced, <i>Fred Stays with Me</i> follows a girl and her dog, Fred, from one parent's house to the other's, giving her a sense of continuity and stability. With a simple text and childlike 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.
