Burping Bertha by Michael Rosen (view source)

A child is going to love the story of a little girl who defeats the school bullies (including the teacher who falls into that category), becomes famous because of her burp and wreaks havoc in the process. It's absurd, ridiculous and ludicrously funny all at the same time. An adult sharing the book with a child is going to appreciate a lot more about the story but it takes nothing away from the child's fun.
For an adult it's a quick read with only sixty pages in the book and there are few pages without an illustration. A child is going to need to work at it a lot more - and there are going to be plenty of opportunities for explanation and discussion. Most short book books are probably better borrowed than bought but this is one which will be read over and over. Do try to let the kids have a look at it too.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
