Pee-Ew! Is That You, Bertie?
PreSchool-Grade 1–This stinky book lists the types of flatulence to which a boy and his family are prone. It seems that everyone has it, but Bertie's is the most offensive and seemingly out of control. The titular refrain appears throughout. The stylized cartoons are colorful but unattractive, with bulging-eyed characters "letting off" wherever they go without so much as an "Excuse me." Without a story line, or an attempt to explain the biological function,PEE-EW!is all there is to say about this pointless and unpleasant offering.–Jane Barrer, Washington Square Village Creative Steps, New York CityCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
