All About Alfie - Tapa dura

"Shirley Hughes's Alfie is another staple of the pre-school bookshelf, and this autumn parents can get All About Alfie. These are gloriously child centred stories about an utterly safe, kindly world, depicted with such warmth that it's easy to miss Hughes's superior draughtsmanship. You feel she not only loves her sturdy, wholly recognisable children as they hide in shrubberies, play and encounter an owl, but she inhabits them too. Alfie (30 years old this year) and his friend Bernard are undimmed by time, as is his dowdy, bespectacled, adorable mum. An enchanting book to read and read." (Amanda Craig The Times)

"Over 2 million copies of Alfie Books have been sold in the UK alone, with stories about everyday life dranas for young readers to enjoy. This book celebrates 30 years of Alfie, with a glorious collection filled with two brand new Alfie stories." (South Wales Evening Post)

"Two new stories about the much loved pre-schooler. Ages 3+" (Frances Perkins Bournemouth Daily Echo)

"It is Alfie's 30th birthday. Shirley Hughes has compiled an omnibus entitled All About Alfie. The opening painting sets the scene for the birthday boy." (Jan Lee Oxford Times)
