Very Tricky, Alfie Atkins [Hardcover]

Gunilla Bergstrom (Author), Elisabeth Kallick Dyssegaard (Translator)

Book Description

Age Level: 3 and up | Grade Level: P and up

An irrresistable father-and-son team!

Alfie likes it when grownups play with him, especially Daddy. And he loves his daddy's toolbox, which he rarely gets to borrow. Fortunately, today Daddy wants to read the newspaper, which means Alfie can play with the tools, except for the saw. Alfie builds and builds, but eventually he needs Daddy's help - and the saw.
