Four longish stories and as many pleasant poems about happy,
wholesome experiences for Alfie and his little sister: setting up
shop on a cardboard box; camping out with Dad in a real tent near
Grandma's (a huge pig provides an amusing midnight disturbance,
just scary enough); adopting a rock ("Bonting") that Alfie invests
with so much personality that losing "him" at the beach is truly
sad (he's found, in the end). As always, Hughes's understanding of
childhood's concerns is deep, mellow, and beautifully extended in
her exquisite art. Deplorably, the publisher here reverts to "Mom"
and other needless Americanizations, undermining the splendidly
evoked British setting. (Kirkus Reviews)
Four new stories and four shorter poems introduce Alfie to the magic of the countryside, the excitement of the seaside, the mystery of night-time and the rhythm of the seasons. It is a companion volume to "The Big Alfie and Annie Rose Storybook".
