Product Description

Product Description
He gave the door a great big slam - Bang! - just like that. Alfie, his mum and baby sister, Annie Rose, arrive home after shopping. While his mum struggles with the pushchair, Alfie rushes inside and slams the door. So now Alfie's stuck inside and mum and Annie Rose are stuck outside without a key! Soon everyone in the street becomes involved in trying to rescue Alfie but he's got plans of his own...

From the Back Cover
Alfie has won the race to be first home but – oh no! – he's slammed the front door and Mum and Annie Rose are on the other side. Even with lots of friends and neighbours to help, they just can't get in . . .
join Alfie in his very first adventure to see if he can solve the problem all by himself. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book captivated my 2 year old daughter., 22 Mar 2002
This review is from: Alfie Gets in 1st (Book & Cassette) (Paperback)
This book contains four short stories about a toddler named Alfie, and his baby sister, Annie Rose. My two year old daughter has begged me to read and reread this book to her numerous times, that is has practically fallen apart. The tape that comes with it keeps her interest, and has helped her in going to sleep. She has even started to use sayings from the Alfie book in real life, like before bedtime, she will tell me to "keep the door a little bit open," which is a direct quote from the Alfie book, which I hadn't realized initially. I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Everyday yet dramatic; a good read for parent and child, 9 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Alfie Gets in First (Hardcover)
Do you remember what it was like to be trapped somewhere when your mother couldn't reach you? Do you remember how it felt to think you were playing a clever trick on your parents only to realise that you had done something terribly wrong? Do you remember the barely controlled panic and anger in your mother's voice as she tried to extricate you from a dangerous situation? All of this and more will be evoked for you when you read this to your children. Your kids will love the drama and that Alfie comes out laughing as always. I love Shirley Hughes's writing almost as much as my daughters' love her illustrations.

A great story which reminds me of the very similar incident involving my son then two year old. He locked himself in and like Alfie, managed to open the front door to let us in (... Read more
