Birthday parties always make people happy and Alfie's neighbour, Mr MacNally, really does need cheering up because their beloved cat, Smoky, has died. Shirley Hughes is the master at understanding and depicting the importance and brilliance in the every day moments of life. It gave me all the feels reading it now as it did back then and I love that my children now share the love too. All small children will be able to identify with Alfie and Annie Rose, two hugely appealing pre-schoolers who are constantly tackling new experiences and making new friends.

Alfie gets a new pair of yellow, shiny rain boots which he stomps, splish, splash and splosh's with in the rain puddles. Somehow, a brother and sister relationship, the importance of boots for keeping your feet dry, a discussion about left feet and right feet, the delights of sploshing in puddles, and the wonder of childhood are all warmly described in one simple little book. Alfie gets out and about in the garden with Dad, in this glorious book about growing, playing and sharing.But Alfie has such a great time, he finds he doesn't even need his special blanket - and he makes a new friend too!

Shirley Hughes has won the Other Award, the Eleanor Farjeon Award, and the Kate Greenaway Medal for Illustration twice, for Dogger in 1977 and for Ella's Big Chance in 2003.Any old weather is Alfie weather and as Alfie demonstrates, there's always lots to do come rain or shine.
