A comic guide to an awkward playdate

Bertie approaches a blind playdate with uncertainty and a series of imaginative escape plans. Disguises and a “roof-crushing robot” give the mishap a playful, fantastical edge, while the premise leaves room for an unexpected discovery: the two children may have more in common than they first assume. The story treats not clicking with someone as a familiar childhood experience, turning social awkwardness into the basis for a humorous tale. Rachel Michelle Wilson’s textured, retro-style artwork accompanies this story, a companion to *How to Pee Your Pants: The Right Way*.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy humorous stories about playdates and childhood mishaps.
  • Families looking for a story about meeting someone new and finding common ground.
  • Readers familiar with *How to Pee Your Pants: The Right Way*.
