This is the first book (of nine) about the adventures of Fred the friendly snake.
Fred was sent as a present to the boy by Jungle Jim. When they went for a walk, Fred “rushed across with never a glance, into the course of an ambulance”. He got squished and had to go to the hospital. The doctor mended him with a special thread that Jungle Jim volunteered to get from underneath a rhino! "Suddenly, I thought of James who enjoys, so one supposes, hunting fierce rhi-nos-cer-oses."
Fred will be more careful crossing the road in future.
As he fell asleep, I heard Fred say "It's been a very trying day. Tomorrow when I'm on the road, I won't forget my crossing code". And nor will you, that's my advice,lest you spell your name, like Fred-Fred twice.

When Jungle Jim comes to visit Fred the Snake
This is the third book (of nine) about the adventures of Fred the friendly snake.
Fred wrote to Jungle Jim because “being a solitary snake, the only, made him sometimes rather lonely. Surely Jim could make amends and visit with some jungle friends”.
So, Jim loaded up old trolleys with a selection of animals ..."A tiger really wanted in, but Jim was nervous taking him. Tigers have a lot of bounce and a tendency to pounce".
They found an old boat and ”set sail, taking directions from a whale”. They landed safely “surely nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina” and joined the boy and his family for more fun.
