Bertie's Bottom

But when poachers come, Bertie’s bottom is the only thing that can save the day. With charming collage illustrations and cute characters, this story will amuse young readers.

  • Appealing characters and nicely textured illustrations.
  • Shows that apparent flaws can also be strengths.
  • Will amuse and delight children.
