Review:
"There is something quintessentially comforting about Shirley Hughes' books" (Sunday Telegraph)
"No-one tells a plain tale better than Shirley Hughes and her telling here is brilliantly complemented, as ever, by her stunning illustrations which are the product of a deeply compassionate and carefully sharp eye" (The School Librarian)
"Hughes invites young readers into a world they will recognise and love, and shows that toughness is not everything" (The Sunday Times)
"Shirley Hughes' beautifully observed - and exquisitely illustrated - books are a national treasure. In this latest Alfie adventure, our boy hero discovers that even big boys cry" (Independent)
"This is one of those books that reaffirm - if reaffirmation is needed - the importance of picture books" (Chris Stephenson Carousel)
