Dirty Gerty

Gerty has much better things to do than clean her room. There are games to play, toys to enjoy and adventures waiting outside. So when Mum hands her a mop and broom, Gerty’s answer is simple: “Not today!”

But a messy room can hide all kinds of surprises.

First, two tiny dust bunnies appear beneath Gerty’s bed. Then there are more. And more. Before she knows it, the playful little creatures are growing bigger, bolder and increasingly mischievous. They climb over the furniture, bounce on the bed and pile themselves into a fuzzy hill that nearly reaches the ceiling.

With her bedroom completely overrun, can Gerty find the courage—and the perfect cleaning tool—to take back her room?

Dirty Gerty is a lively rhyming picture book filled with expressive characters, colourful illustrations and escalating visual comedy. Its playful story introduces young readers to the consequences of putting off an unwanted job while showing that even an enormous mess can be overcome.

A funny read-aloud adventure for children, parents, teachers and anyone whose bedroom may be hiding a dust bunny or two.
