Little Bertram, he's always bringing home the most extraordinary pets, usually after asking his mamma for permission first, of course. But who ever heard of cutting holes in the ceiling for a giraffe? Running from a dangerously ticklish rhinoceros? Or dealing with a baboon for a babysitter? If only Bertram would bring home a dog or a cat or even a turtle instead, he might not find himself in such predicaments. And his mamma?my, is she frazzled! Bertram and His Funny Animals was first published in 1934. Now it's back in a new edition, and this time a troublesome camel joins the original's mischievous menagerie! Children will love Bertram's cackle-inducing dilemmas and the sweet drawings by Minnie Rousseff, and parents will delight in tales filled with the charming foibles of childhood.
