Synopsis
All is quiet at Alfie's house - Mum and Dad have gone out and Maureen's baby-sitting. Then . . . drip, drip, drip. It's raining inside! The drip turns into a downpour and Maureen's parents have to come round to deal with the burst pipe, but only Alfie can work out what's worrying Annie Rose. . . .
Join Alfie in this wonderfully warm celebration of brothers and sisters (and babysitters!).
Reviews
Tara
Great familial story about neighbours and friendship with a sense of belonging and community. I love the way Shirley Hughes' books seem to involve everyday people. In this story, Maureen the babysitter is the feminist and they are the safe middle class family. The kids love Alfie books and this one is no different in that.
