Today is Shirley’s birthday.

To mark the occasion here are birthday scenes from Alfie and the Birthday Surprise, Alfie Gives a Hand and My Naughty Little Sister.

2/2 Empathy & an understanding for others runs through many of Shirley’s books

With Empathy Day soon it’s a good time to share Alfie and the Birthday Surprise, a story about Alfie’s family & the MacNally family hatching a plan to make Bob MacNally feel better

#ReadForEmpathy

Right acros the street lives their good friends the MacNallys. There was Bob and Jean MacNally, their daughter Maureen and their old cat Smoky... Smoky was always there to see them off.

Then his shoes got rather wet. So did his socks, so did his feet

Monday Morning Dance

Dungarees and nighties, underpants and socks,
Alfie’s dirty T-shirts, Annie Rose’s frocks...

From Rhymes for Annie Rose
(With a nod to the fact it’s Thursday)

Chirpy

All the house is quiet,
Curtains tightly drawn,
But someone sings a little song
To welcome in the dawn...

Heads deep in pillows,
Underneath the clothes,
But all the birds are wide awake
And so is Annie Rose.

Rhymes for Annie Rose

Some things are hard as stone,
Some are soft as cloud.

From Bathwater’s Hot

Bathwater’s hot,
Seawater’s cold

Lucy and Tom know a lot of words beginning with a: a is for apples and ants; also for apricots, aunties, aeroplanes, acrobats and artists.

From Lucy & Tom From A to Z

There’s a place in the park where the farm animals live... I always visit Betty the sheep first. She has a nice fat back. And when she sees me she always turns her head and lets me touch her nose.
