About This Book
"Dirty Bertie: Germs!" offers three humorous tales featuring the notoriously grubby Bertie. In these stories, Bertie attempts to contract his sister's chickenpox, teams up with his grandma for an unexpected dancing competition, and encounters a new babysitter who rivals him in messiness. This chapter book is perfect for early to late elementary readers (ages 4-11) who enjoy silly, relatable stories about everyday mischief and family life. It's a great choice for reluctant readers due to its fast pace and engaging humor, and can spark conversations about hygiene, sibling dynamics, and embracing individuality.
What kind of trouble will Bertie get into next? In this trio of tales, Bertie tries to catch his sister's horrible illness, finds himself partnering with his grandma at a dancing competition, and meets his match in a new babysitter who's even grubbier than he is!
