From The Lost Cat in Alfie and Dad

This week we will be looking at Alfie and Dad, first a trio of illustrations from Father’s Day.

Bedtime’s come,
Crooning baby,
Sucks his thumb.
All quiet, not a peep -
Everyone is fast asleep.

From our final look at All Around Me this week

When Bernard arrived, he was so pleased to see Alfie again that he wrestled him to the floor and they rolled over and over. Then they went into the back garden and sat in the Alfie and Bernard clubhouse, which was in the bush in Alfie’s back garden.

Alfie on Holiday

This week we will be looking through the pages of Alfie on Holiday, which has been shortlisted for the #IndieBookAwards

From Let’s Join In

Lenny was crying now, but he felt safe. The garden was completely quiet. The rose bush was frozen in the moonlight. Underneath its dense shadow something flowed softly. It moved gently.
