Fred the (Very Demanding) Deer Launch Party With Pépé Smit

Fred has demanded it, and so we are beholden this very demanding deer to host a launch party with his illustrator Pépé Smit on Tuesday 19th May 2026, from 7-9pm! Here's what publisher Scallywag Press say about the new picture book, Fred the (Very Demanding) Deer:

In this unique and hilarious picture book, Fred the Deer throws a series of tantrums with his illustrator, and ends up getting most of what he wants!

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!

Meet Pépé Smit on Tuesday 19th May from 7pm. You can grab a signed copy of the book from our website by clicking the link here.
