Bertie on Ice

Bertie on Ice continues the adventures of a friendly wild boar called Bertie, who successfully found his vocation as a Forest Guide in Bertie’s Big Day.

After an amazing summer season, Bertie is set a new challenge: to think of three ideas to attract visitors to the forest over the winter months. Bertie wants to show people that his beloved forest is beautiful at all times of the year. Will Bertie come up with ideas and how will he get on with his new deputy?

This heart-warming story about striving to be the best you can be and conquering your anxieties will appeal to animal-loving children of all ages and is ideal for snuggling up with on a cold winter night.
