The adventures of Bert

What is The adventures of Bert about?

Bert’s everyday life is anything but ordinary. He rescues a barking cardboard box from the river, finds himself chased by a giant sausage and gets caught up in one hilarious mishap after another. The fun continues when readers are asked to turn the pages quietly so they do not wake Bert’s baby—only to be blamed when the baby starts crying. Packed with daft surprises, slapstick comedy and playful moments that involve the reader, Bert’s adventures are wonderfully unpredictable.
