Meet Fred - the can-do pup who loves to try new things - in this vibrant interactive novelty series.

Fred the dog LOVES to try new things - what will he do today? Peep inside his special sparkly bag to discover where his adventures will take him next.

Today Fred's in the kitchen - he's put on his chef's hat and apron, and he's ready to make a cake for his friends. However, ignoring the recipe, Fred decides to add all his favourite ingredients instead - broccoli, sausages, and puppy treats. What could possibly go wrong?

Join in by lifting the flaps to help Fred find the ingredients and spin the wheel to mix the cake! With a playful rhyming text, perfect for reading aloud, children will love helping Fred and bringing this interactive story to life.
