When the National Animal Choir performs the latest song by renowned composer and conductor Mr. Herbert Timberteeth, nothing goes exactly as planned. Mr. Timberteeth has some preconceived notions of what animals like to do that are reflected in his song. But it turns out that lions prefer flower arranging to prowling and shrimp would rather ski than swim! With all the dissension and mayhem, will the show still go on? This hilarious picture book delivers...

In these three tales Bertie turns a pink birthday party into a mess, faces and fails the challenge of being polite for an entire day (fortunately), and mistakes his mother's flower arrangement for garbage.
