Skip this book. Children do not look age appropriate. Parent should recognize the concert is for Alfie and the students not for his sister. Be a parent!! Have the younger sibling appreciate Alfie and the concert and learn to wait her turn!

The illustrations are exactly as you'd expect - but I didn't really know who this was aimed at.

Really lovely book, very suitable for children starting school. Lovely illustrations and a good length for story time. Good story for sharing, being kind and getting along with everyone.

This isn't as well-written or appealing as some of the other Alfie books, but my four-year-old Alfie fan enjoyed it anyway, especially the second story in which Annie Rose crashes Alfie's school concert.
