Alfie Gets in First

[Kaiya]

Alfie Gets in First, by Shirley Hughes tells the story of when Alfie runs ahead of his Mum and sister on the way home, and locks himself in by mistake. Concerned neighbors do their best to help, but in the end, Alfie manages to open the door himself and they celebrate by having tea with all those who came to help.
It is a heartwarming story that children will be able to relate to with beautiful illustrations that draw you into the story. It is the perfect read-allowed for reception and year one children, and can provide a springboard for discussions on fear, friendship, and problem solving.
