Frank and Bert: The One Where Bert Plays Football

Join Frank and Bert for a kickabout in this funny story about friendship and football that proves two’s company but three’s a crowd. From best-selling author-illustrator Chris Naylor-Ballesteros, creator of The Suitcase.

Bert puts his new ball in front of the goal and takes a loooooooong run-up. I'd better get ready, because . . . here . . . he . . . comes!

Meet Frank and Bert. They LOVE football and Frank is teaching Bert everything he knows . . . until Barbara turns up, the local football legend, and Frank drops everything to play with her.

Poor old Bert.

But when Frank finds himself in trouble, it's Bert, his BFF, who is always there for him . . .
