Themes: Achievements/ Brothers/ Kindness/ Pigs
It’s not easy to be an underachiever in a family
with three brilliant older brothers who are sporty, arty and just simply -
clever. Bertie, the other brother tries his hardest to match them but it takes
a wise teacher to show him there are other (and maybe far more satisfying) ways
of being brilliant. A ‘moral’ tale but a very palatable one and a story that
reads aloud well and leads to lots of discussion and many spin offs. .
