Description
In this trio of adventures, Bertie takes his flea-ridden dog to the vet, attempts a dangerous dare at school, and climbs aboard a shiny red fire engine.
Quick Summary
Dirty Bertie's flea-ridden pup, a dare that goes hilariously wrong, and a ride on a shiny fire engine create a nonstop laugh-out-loud experience that feels like a Saturday morning cartoon in book form. Kids will devour the snappy chapters that pair gross-out jokes with quick-fire problem-solving, and they'll root for Bertie's cheeky mischief even when everything goes awry. If your child enjoys the slapstick chaos of 'The Bad Guys' or the diary-style humor of 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid,' they'll instantly connect with Bertie's gleeful troublemaking. At an AR level of 3.3 with about 7,400 words, this collection is perfect for early readers ages 6 to 9, roughly grades 1 through 3, who are ready for short chapter books packed with goofy jokes.
