|summary=There’s a small fluffy white caterpillar called Fred who lives a pretty idyllic existence hidden by the dandelions, cotton-wool balls and fluffy white sheep. Unfortunately, Fred likes to eat bright green leaves and these leave him very much exposed. Fred was never worried about this until the day that Gerald entered his life. This is because Gerald is a big mean crow who likes nothing better than eating little caterpillars for his dinner. Luckily though, Gerald is not that clever so there is just a chance that Fred will be able to outwit him. But how long can he hope to escape Gerald’s grasping claws?

Fred, the fluffy, white caterpillar loves hiding and playing games as he is very good at camouflaging himself amongst dandelions and sheep. It’s a bit dangerous when he tries to eat lush green leaves though as there is nowhere to hide. That’s normally OK but one day Gerald, the crow, happens to catch sight of him and is determined to eat him. Fred will not give up without a fight though and scarpers off down the High Street. When Gerald catches up, he is only able to see a smart looking lady wearing a fluffy necklace. She says that she has not seen Fred so he moves on until he meets a man with grey straggly hair and lovely fluffy white eyebrows. He also has not seen Fred so Gerald moves on to ask a little girl with a fluffy white hair band and an elderly man with a big white moustache. Of course, any eagle eyed child will soon spot where Fred is hiding in all of the pictures but luckily Gerald does not.
