Fritz' River

Leaving friends and moving to a new location is troubling for any child. For Fritz', adjusting to his new situation at first seemed impossible. 

"This is a pretty good place to live. I am starting to like it here" is Fritz' final thought in Fritz' Rover. The change in his attitude is teh result of his enjoyment of the activity on the river, the delight of his friends who come to visit, and finally, the surprise arrival of a special boat on the river. 

George Kertz began his writing career as a mathematics profesor. He wrote several papers on mathematics and college-level mathematics text books. His interest in children's stories began with telling bedtime stories to his grandchildren. Fritz' River started in this way.
