Calling all Dirty Bertie fans! Dirty Bertie - the boy with nose-pickingly disgusting habits, is back for another helping of comic chaos! More disgusting than ever, with crazier plans and increasingly madcap schemes, Bertie continues to delight his legions of fans who revel in his revolting ways. Join Bertie on his 19th adventure in Toothy! as he takes a reluctant trip to the dentist, tries to keep his cool on the hottest day of the year, and causes a mid-air emergency whilst flying with a very nervous Dad! Dirty Bertie is a hugely popular series created by David Roberts. With each hilarious story approximately thirty pages long and split into chapters, Dirty Bertie is ideal for reluctant boy readers or readers in search of hilarity but with a short attention span.

I enjoyed reading this book to my sons over 2 evenings. The silly things that Bertie did had them giggling. Such a mischievous little boy with a sense of adventure and curiosity.
She just can't get enough of Dirty Bertie... These three stories were not classics of the Dirty Bertie oeuvre, I felt, but we enjoyed them nonetheless.
