Alfie Gets in First

  • Shirley Hughes



A timeless picture book and the first in the hugely popular Alfie series.

So now Alfie's stuck INSIDE and his mum and Annie Rose are stuck OUTSIDE without a key! Soon everyone in the street is trying to help rescue Alfie - but he's got a plan of his own . . .
