Alfie Gets in First

by Shirley Hughes

Ages 3–5 Reading age 4 Picture book Set in everyday life gentlefunny

Alfie races indoors ahead of his mother and slams the door, shutting her out on the step with the shopping and the pram, and the key on the inside.

A story about children and families, gentle and funny in tone. We would put it with children of 3–5, and at a reading age of about 4 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
