An Evening at Alfie's

I think this is the best Alfie book, maybe tied with "Alfie gets in first." The story is engaging, the drawings are distinctive. Alfie and his sister are very true to life.

I love the Alfie books, so did my kids and now my grandchildren do. They are well written and beautifully illustrated.This is one of my favorites. Kids can relate to Alfie.

Great quality book, doesn’t fall apart after years of use. The writing and illustration are great.

Love Shirley Hughes! So glad to find her available for US readers.

Kids love Alfie!

My daughter loved it.

I am so happy to see this classic book is back in print in the U.S. I think even last year it was out of print here. We wanted to buy a copy for one of the children's teachers who was having a baby because this is an all time favorite of our family. The illustrations are so beautiful and the story is just a sweet slice of life from an evening in a house with a preschool age boy and his toddler sister. It is a treasure.

Alfie has an interesting problem at his house (the water pipe breaks) while his sitter is with him and his little sister. Water drips from the ceiling and begins to make a huge mess. The sitter and her parents along with Alfie's help take care of the problem. Not one of our all-time favorite stories, but one we enjoy from time-to-time.

Great story, easy purchase. Thanks!

This is a lovely book. Thoroughly enjoyed by my 3 year old granddaughters time and time again.

Lovely story about it raining inside (a burst pipe) when Alfie has a babysitter. Beautiful illustrations mean that you can read it to a child who doesn't have the patience to listen to all the words yet because you can just talk through the pictures. My son is 2 and it's been one of his favourite books for 6months and I'm sure he will enjoy it for another few years.

This was one of my favourite stories when I was a child, now I get to share it with my children. The book is a good size. No issues with it at all

Like new, great price, excellent in every respect
