Thanksgiving is rapidly approaching and is a time for family, for food, and for reflecting on everything we are grateful for. It is also a holiday built around traditions — gathering together, sharing stories, and enjoying each other’s company. Alongside the pumpkin pie, the parade, and the laughter around the dinner table, stories hold a very special place in the celebration
This year, why not add something new to your family tradition? The Space Ranger Fred books are perfect for bringing families together, sparking giggles, and filling the holiday with imagination. With the brand-new release Space Ranger Fred and the Great Galactic Bake Off, there has never been a better time to invite Fred, Jupiter, and Zando Centauri to join your Thanksgiving.
Why books belong at Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is not just about food. It is about gratitude, togetherness, and making memories. Books embody all of these values.
When you share a book, you are giving more than a story. You are giving time together. You are giving laughter. You are creating something that will be remembered long after the leftovers are gone. Unlike toys or gadgets that fade, a good book lasts. It sits on the shelf ready to be picked up again whenever you want to relive the adventure.
For children, books are gifts that open doors to new worlds. For parents, they are a chance to share something special. For families, they are a tradition waiting to be created. That is why Space Ranger Fred deserves a place at your Thanksgiving table.
Who is Space Ranger Fred?
Fred is an ordinary boy with an extraordinary imagination. With his always-sleeping dog Jupiter and the eccentric Zando Centauri, he travels across the galaxy solving problems that are always ridiculous, sometimes messy, and endlessly entertaining.
From runaway shoelaces to mischievous aliens, no challenge is too strange. The stories are packed with humour and heart, designed to make children laugh while slipping in gentle lessons about teamwork, perseverance, and curiosity. Parents enjoy the witty touches, teachers appreciate the subtle STEM connections, and children simply love the chaos.
Fred is the kind of hero families can get behind — relatable, funny, and never perfect. That is what makes his adventures such fun to share.
The new release: Space Ranger Fred and the Great Galactic Bake Off
This Thanksgiving, Fred’s latest adventure is finally here: Space Ranger Fred and the Great Galactic Bake Off.
This story whisks readers away to a cosmic baking contest unlike anything on Earth. Imagine zero-gravity ovens, alien ingredients, and countdown timers that never quite behave as expected. Fred finds himself trying to bake against competitors from across the galaxy, with Zando Centauri adding to the mayhem at every turn.
Children will laugh out loud at exploding cakes and frosting mishaps. Parents will enjoy the warm message about creativity, teamwork, and learning from mistakes. At its heart, the story is about more than cake. It is about celebrating effort, enjoying the process, and not being afraid to fail — a message that sits perfectly with the spirit of Thanksgiving.
If you are new to the Space Ranger Fred series, this is a brilliant place to start. If you already have earlier books such as Space Ranger Fred and the Shoelace Adventure, then The Great Galactic Bake Off is the perfect next step.
The joy of reading together
One of the most rewarding parts of Thanksgiving is the chance to slow down. For many families, it is the only time of year when everyone gathers in the same place. Reading together is a simple but powerful way to make that time special.
- For children, a funny story is the perfect way to relax after a big meal.
- For parents, it is an opportunity to bond and laugh with their children.
- For grandparents, it is a way to pass down the love of storytelling.
- For the whole family, it is a chance to create a tradition that can be repeated year after year.
Sharing Space Ranger Fred during Thanksgiving turns a simple book into part of your family’s celebration.
How to include Space Ranger Fred in your Thanksgiving
There are many ways to make Space Ranger Fred part of your holiday:
- Pre-dinner storytime – Read a chapter aloud while the turkey is in the oven. Laughter will set the perfect tone for the meal.
- After-dinner entertainment – Once plates are cleared, gather the family for a story instead of turning on the television.
- A gift for visiting children – If you are hosting friends or relatives, surprise the children with a Space Ranger Fred book as a little extra treat.
- Bedtime wind-down – Thanksgiving is exciting and can be tiring for little ones. A funny adventure with Fred makes the perfect end to the day.
Each of these small traditions creates memories that will last long after Thanksgiving is over.
Ordering your books

Because Thanksgiving is so close to the busy Christmas shopping season, it is a good idea to place your order early. That way you can be sure your books arrive on time and ready for the holiday. For families outside the United Kingdom, please allow extra delivery time so you do not miss the celebration.
Building your Fred collection
One book is fun. Two books are even better. A whole collection of Space Ranger Fred is something truly special.
Children love collecting series. Once they finish one adventure, they immediately want to know what happens next. With every new release, the excitement grows. Parents often tell us that their children return to Fred’s adventures again and again, even once they already know the story.
This Thanksgiving, consider starting your collection or adding the newest book to the shelf. Whether you begin with The Shoelace Adventure or jump straight into The Great Galactic Bake Off, you are starting a journey that can grow year after year.
