[Lynn Davidson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fred the dinosaur did not want to play outside with his friends. Instead, he played video games and watched TV. When he finally saw on social media that his friends were having a great time outside, he realized how out of shape he was from doing nothing. Then something surprising and brave happened when he got outside to get his body strong. Fabulous illustrations.

I learnt that if you just stay indoors and you play games and all that stuff, your eyes might hurt so it is good to play outside and exercise like playing soccer, cycling, swimming, etc. It makes stronger so that you can also save some people if they need help.
