Fred's First Case

By: David T. Wolf

Narrated by: Susie Hackel

Meet Fred, a large mixed-breed hound living with a cop. Fred pretends he’s a police dog, making up heroic tales to impress his next-door buddy, Bitz, a small, scruffy poodle owned by the Johnsons. So how can Fred admit he’s been faking it all this time when Bitz asks for his help?

A newly-acquired cat named Fritz has run off, and if he doesn’t return, Bitz could be sent to the pound, thanks to those Johnson twins and their constant sibling rivalry. So Fred agrees to track down the cat, even though he hates cats, and he’s also allergic to them. But hey, how hard can it be to track down one smelly cat?

So Cute!

Fred's First Case is a well written and humorous story about a dog named Fred who sets out to help his friend Bitzy find her missing cat friend Fritz. The animals are personified as Fred tells the whole story and the journey begins as they set out to solve the case of a missing cat. Along the way you will be introduced to Fred's friends and his funny antics.

I enjoyed reading and listening to Fred's First Case. I first listened to the Audiobook which is narrated well. I felt as though a man's voice would have fit the narration better since Fred is telling the story. Nonetheless it was nicely done. The narrator did change her voice to emphasize the personality of each character which brought humor. Therefore overall it's an audiobook which is pleasing to listen to.

The story became more alive when reading it myself from the Kindle version. I especially loved all the animal characters and how they deal with life on a day to day basis. This book is great for children and can be enjoyed by the whole family. It has a delightful and amusing storyline which will keep you interested until the end. To discover how Fred solves his first case.
