About the stories

Each short story in this paperback edition captures Michael Rosen’s playful voice and knack for connecting with children. Highlights include:

• Burping Bertha — On an ordinary morning, an up‑till‑now perfectly ordinary Bertha produces an extraordinary burp that causes hilarious chaos around the flat.
• Fluff the Farting Fish — Elvie wants a puppy, but Mum brings home a fish. Fluff may not fetch, but this funny fish has tricks of its own.
• Choosing Crumble — When Terri‑Lee visits the pet shop she expects to choose a dog, but Crumble has ideas of his own — including questions about walks, dancing and tickles.
• Don't Forget Tiggs! — Mr and Mrs Hurry are always in a rush and keep forgetting important things — like breakfast and taking Harry to school — until memory and laughter return.
• Bilal's Brilliant Bee — Afraid of The Test, Bilal finds an unlikely helper: Bumble the bee can answer tricky questions and calm exam nerves.
• Barking for Bagels — Shnipp the dog runs off from teasing children and discovers a new life with Bessie the Bagel Lady — and lots of tasty bagels.
• Hampstead the Hamster — Leo’s Christmas wish for a hamster comes true, bringing festive joy and small pet adventures.
• Rigatoni the Pasta Cat — Rigatoni loves all kinds of pasta and creates laughable scenes around mealtimes for Ruth and Tina.
