Alfred's Nose [Hardcover]

Vivienne Flesher (Author, Illustrator)

Book Description

Age Level: 4 and up | Grade Level: P and up

Everyone loves Alfred—with his silly, round face and his big, wet, sloppy kisses.

Everyone except Alfred. Alfred especially doesn't like his nose. It's just not a true dog nose.

Maybe a costume could give him a new look. Or perhaps a mask.

Can Alfred really find the perfect nose?

Vivienne Flesher's winsome story and humorous photographs capture the sometimes bumpy road it takes to realize one's true self.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the funnier kids' books I've seen in quite some time, July 23, 2008

This review is from: Alfred's Nose (Hardcover)

This book has become an almost nightly treat for our 5-year-old daughter, who finds Alfred to be quite irresistable. And how can you not love him? His personality just springs off the page.

After many many readings, it shows no signs of losing its humor. Really well done!

This is a fun and imaginative book with great photography. Children and adults will enjoy the book alike. Especially if you have a "Frenchie". Alfred is adorable.
