In this bumper collection of five new stories and poems featuring Alfie and his baby sister Annie Rose, Shirley Hughes depicts family experiences with which small children can identify, whether the everyday breakfast time chaos or the excitement of going to a wedding for the first time. Shirley Hughes won the 1984 Eleanor Farjeon Award for her services to children and books, and was the recipient of the 1977 Kate Greenaway Medal for "Dogger". She is also author of "Alfie's Feet", "Alfie Gets in First", "Alfie Gives a Hand", "An Evening at Alfie's", "Helpers", "Moving Molly", "Sally's Secret" and "Up and Up".
