Overview
Meet Dirty Bertie, the boy with nose-pickingly disgusting habits, in this rip-roaring 8-book paperback collection from Series 2 of Alan MacDonald's hugely popular chapter book series. Featuring Ouch!, Scream!, Kiss!, Snow!, Loo!, Pong!, Crackers! and Toothy!, each book delivers three short, laugh-out-loud stories brought to life by David Roberts' witty line drawings. Perfect for newly confident readers aged 6-8 (Grades 1-3), this set is packed with school scrapes, family chaos, and Bertie's trademark gross-out schemes that never go quite to plan.

About the Book
The Dirty Bertie collection follows the everyday misadventures of Bertie, a mischievous, grubby-fingered schoolboy who is one of British children's fiction's most beloved anti-heroes. This 8-book set gathers eight installments from Series 2, continuing the short-story format that makes the series a favorite for reluctant and emerging readers: three quick, self-contained tales per book, built around familiar settings - school, family gatherings, holidays, and neighborhood run-ins - twisted into comic chaos by Bertie's relentless curiosity. From a dentist's chair disaster in Toothy! to a snowbound family trip in Snow!, Bertie's world is instantly relatable, even as situations spiral into gleeful absurdity. David Roberts' black-and-white illustrations appear on nearly every page, giving visual punchlines that hold the attention of readers who might find longer chapter books daunting. Each story wraps up in just a few pages, making the books equally suited to solo reading practice, bedtime read-alouds, or waiting rooms.
