Mr and Mrs Deer would love a baby, and one day they find a little bundle on the doorstep. Mrs Deer thinks their wish has come true; Mr Deer thinks that the baby is very, very peculiar.
When the baby won’t stop roaring, they ask advice from family and friends . . .
but it takes wise old Granny Bear to spot the problem: the baby’s not a baby –
it’s a little monster. A very greedy little monster at that . . . Could that be why their friends have mysteriously disappeared?!
