Raymond Briggs.
Meet Bert, a classic noodlehead hero, hapless and lovable. Bert's adventures, told and shown with economy and verve, and chock full of slapstick humor, will score a direct hit on five-year-old funnybones. Readers will feel hurtled through the book by the energy of Brigg's vivid, mostly colored-pencil illustrations and Ahlberg's no-nonsense text.
