Frank and Bert

Frank and Bert are the best of friends and they LOVE to play hide and seek. But Bert the bear isn't quite as good at hiding as he thinks he is . . . and Frank ALWAYS wins! Every. Single. Time.

But when it's Bert's turn to hide, and Frank has to decide between winning again OR making his friend happy, Frank learns that friendship is always the true winner.

Why we love this book:

This funny book will put your counting skills to test and is ideal to talk about how winning isn’t everything – sometimes it’s more fun making someone else happy. Your child is sure to enjoy Bert’s failed attempt at hide-and-seek and will pick up a great message of empathy in the process. The bright neon pink throughout the illustrations make this story even more fun to look at.

There's also a QR code included in the book for a free audio reading of the story. 

About the author:

Chris is originally from Bradford and studied illustration and graphic design at Bradford College of Art. In 2000 he moved to France where, amongst other things, he was an English teacher before working in newspaper layout and design. When his children were small he realised he loved the picture books he read to them, sometimes even more than his children did - the Picture Book Bug had truly bitten. Chris has since written and illustrated several books and is currently thinking about the next one, probably with a cuppa in hand at home near Limoges. He likes listening to and making music, wandering around the countryside, a bit of running and riding a bike. His favourite season is autumn and his favourite colour is green.
