About this title

Review:

In Alfie Weather Shirley Hughes gives little kids and grown-up folk a treat as she follows her best-loved character, Alfie, through the seasons. As ever, Hughes combines her classic illustrations--beautifully detailed and evocative--with simple, rhythmic text that work together to bring the pleasures and pains of toddlerdom to effervescent life.

From the joys of splashing in puddles, to the first experience of walking in the crispest of snow, and back to the warmth of the sun, Alfie Weather perfectly captures the thoughts and emotions of small children on their voyage of discovery. As ever, Shirley Hughes has created the perfect picture book for sharing with this stunning book of poems and short stories. Age 2 and over. --Susan Harrison.
