Bertie, a very small dog, outwits a burglar by challenging him to a series of bets, the last of which ("I bet I can bark louder than you") brings round the police, who arrest the burglar and give Bertie a medal. With its energetic illustrations, spot-on humor, engaging sound effects, and entirely satisfying outcome, this book wins all bets.
