Written by David Roberts. Bertie is a spirited boy who tackles haircuts, janitors, chicken pox, ballroom dance competitions, and babysitters in these early chapter books. Three stand-alone stories make up each book, and all end with a humorous twist. Bertie's hijinks and imagination, coupled with the amusing black-and-white drawings, make for an engaging, high-energy combination. Review covers these Dirty Bertie titles: Fangs! and Germs!
