PS
Alfie has starred in several books, but here he narrates a description of the world of his little sister, Annie Rose. The story celebrates the joys and trials of everyday life for a young child, and the pictures are filled with tiny treasures and happy clutter. The large pastel and gouache illustrations are expansive, offering a richly immediate sense that the viewer is on hand to witness Alfie and Annie Rose's activities.
