PROBLEM, CONFLICT or FAVORITE PART
Fred and Ted get sleepy and get a hotel. Fred’s bed is too small, and Ted’s bed to too big. Because of this, they do not sleep well.
CONCLUSION
Since they can’t sleep, they call each other and say, “Let’s take a walk and talk.” They talk about the problems they have with the beds, and a bird says that they should switch beds. Fred and Ted run inside to jump into their beds to sleep better.
This book made me think that the dogs are funny. I knew they should switch beds to sleep better. It made me feel good when they slept again.

I gave this book 5 stars because the dogs are so funny. I like that sometimes they solve problems. Also, it is good because they are nice friends and they always help each other.
