Fred the deer loves living in the forest. Or does he? No, he says he does not! He is bored, and wants to visit the town!
Once there, he sees everyone else has shoes, so why can't he have shoes? Everyone else seems to be eating chips, but he needs hands to eat chips... really, Fred?
Read on to see if Pepe will give in and give him hands, and how the story will end up!

About the Author
Pepe Smit was trained as a visual artist at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and the Sandberg Institute. Her illustrations have appeared in several leading magazines and newspapers, but she has increasingly focused on creating picture books that make young children both laugh and think. Her first, Fred the (Very Demanding) Deer, has become a much-reprinted title and marked the beginning of a successful series.
