Bertie at bedtime
by Marcus Pfister
JPIC PFI
Bedtime for Bertie takes time - and a little help from Daddy. Along with bathing and toothbrushing and, of course, the final glass of water and a visit to the bathroom, there are races and chases and games and songs and books to be shared. It looks as if Bertie will never wear out. It's a different story for Daddy! Children - and parents too - will laugh and nod at Bertie's bedtime ritual. The creator of The Rainbow Fish has brought us another irresistible picture book character. Bertie may be a handful, but he's a handful it's impossible not to love.

This follow-up to "Cornelius P. Mud, Are You Ready for Bed?" is sure to charm all those little piggies who are just a bit resistant to sharing their space. Full color.
