The Advenures of Gertie

This is my first foray into childrens literature/illustration, inspired by my two book-loving children. Introducing "Gertie"! The little girl who lives for adventure and fun. Come and join her, on four exciting trips into Gertie's world. Rhyming words and vibrant colourful illustrations will have even the littlest "would-be-readers" enraptured.
Even the youngest children love to know that they can do the things that other kids can do. These stories show young children how a little girl, named Gertie, can do many things. It is an encouragement to young children to do the same things. Helping in the kitchen, a trip to the seaside, playing in the garden, interacting with the world around them. The illustrations will have your youngsters moving and discovering in no time. This book brings to life stories that will help open your children’s eyes to the beauty in the world around them. Sharing it will be something to treasure, watching as they learn and discover the world will be what you get out of these endearing tales. The stories will be easy for them to memorize and repeat along with you, full of humor and silliness, the easy rhyming phrases and the poetic verse make it simple to remember and perfectly capture the atmosphere of the stories. Your children will think they are reading which will encourage them to read more.

The book includes four exciting trips into Gertie's world:

Dirty Gertie from number 30 - A little girl who likes to get dirty. Outdoors is where she loves to be whatever the weather.
