Reviews

"Fans of the other Alfie books and those meeting the family for the first time will be pleased by the real-life situations, jauntily depicted in Hughes's fresh-faced watercolors." —Publishers Weekly

"A generous collection of incidents and vignettes . . . Like their neatly plotted predecessors, these nine pieces explore childhood's joys and satisfactions with uncommon sensitivity and warmth . . . Lovely as a first chapter book to share with preschoolers, or for Alfie's old friends to read to themselves." —Kirkus Reviews
