Not Now, Bernard

The hilarious and much-loved tale of a boy whose busy parents never seem to notice him. Whatever Bernard says to Mum and Dad, the answer’s always the same: “Not now, Bernard!” So how can he tell them that there’s a hungry monster in the garden – and it wants to eat him? Full of imagination and irresistible comedy, this favourite story invests a familiar real-life scenario with an unforgettably surreal touch.

Also available: Read and Respond activities to accompany Not Now, Bernard.
