A burp so humongously big that very soon it's causing havoc in the school canteen, the playground, not to mention her grandad's apple trees...Such a burptastic secret cannot stay quiet for long. And soon enough it lands Bertha her very own celebrity stardom...but is it all just a lot of hot air?

Review

"A brilliant tale told with all the ingenuity of Michael Rosen and accompanied by the wonderful illustrations of Tony Ross."
