4.0 out of 5 stars A Very Nice Story for Young Children, May 21, 2009

This review is from: Alfie's Feet (Hardcover)

This story is about young Alfie's experience of getting new boots and trying them out in the park, only to discover that he's put them on the wrong feet. Like all the Alfie books, this one is characterized by Hughes' detailed, warm renderings of a loving family. This one is particularly rich in tactile images: you can almost hear the flapping of the birds he chases as he splashes through cool puddles in his boots; you can smell the ink as Mother writs an "L" and "R" on the left and right boots; you see the steam rising from wet socks hung up by the fire. A very nice addition to your story basket.

What a shame this book is out of print. My 2 year old son loves this book.The illustrations are wonderfull the busy shoe shop and the cosy kitchen where Dad is making tea. Its the perfect rainy day book. My son always wants to go and put on his yellow boots just like Alfie and go out and jump in the puddles. SPLISH, SPLASH, SPLOSH
