"To please a child, yet introduce him to beautiful things, the Alfie books are a happy solution."  —New York Times Book Review

"If ever there was an alchemist, it's Shirley Hughes. Again and again she mines familiar plots and transforms them into pure gold."  —The Horn Book Magazine

"Shirley Hughes is the doyenne of the picture book world. At the mention of her name booksellers beam, librarians wax lyrical and fellow children's authors opine that it is time she retired and gave the rest of them a chance."  —Times Educational Supplement
