Bertie's Adventure At the Beach

Avoid mouse traps, keep clear of cats, and never go to the seashore without your mother and father. Along with the dangerous currents of the mighty sea, there are foxes, wild cats and hawks searching for a tasty meal of small mice. These were strong warnings, but the lure of the seashore was overwhelming, and Bertie disobeyed his parents. From his cozy bungalow on a farm near the beaches of Cape Cod, the young mouse secretly set out by himself to explore the seashore. His first encounter was a wise and friendly old seagull named Sebastian, who agreed to take Bertie on a tour. Here begins the little mouse's adventure told 70 years ago to the author, John Hutchinson, by his mother, Harriet Jaqueth Fitz Hutchinson, to whom this book is dedicated. This 90 page hard cover book with a trim size of 7 by 10 inches, was professionally produced for children ages 8 to 12 years old. The design and typesetting were done by Hummingbird Publishing, and it is printed on 87# 128gsm Sword Gloss paper by Total Printing Systems, Newton, IL. The author is currently working on his second book that tells of Bertie's search for pirate treasure on Skull Island.
