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! Age Group - 3 - 8 Years.
