Good Night, Alfie Atkins

(2) PS Translated by Elisabeth Kallick Dyssegaard. First published (in Sweden) in 1972, these welcome imports attest that preschoolers are much the same whatever the decade. In Good Night, an ever-smiling, pipe-smoking cartoon dad patiently indulges his wide-awake son's stall tactics. In Tricky, Daddy attempts to read the newspaper and mind Alfie at the same time. The colorful mixed-media artwork exudes a homey, vaguely retro charm. Reviews covers these titles: Good Night, Alfie Atkins and Very Tricky, Alfie Atkins.
