There is something quintessentially comforting about Shirley Hughes' books
Sunday Telegraph
No-one tells a plain tale better than Shirley Hughes and her telling here is brilliantly complemented, as ever, by her stunning illustrations which are the product of a deeply compassionate and carefully sharp eye
The School Librarian
Hughes invites young readers into a world they will recognise and love, and shows that toughness is not everything
The Sunday Times
Shirley Hughes' beautifully observed - and exquisitely illustrated - books are a national treasure. In this latest Alfie adventure, our boy hero discovers that even big boys cry
Independent
This is one of those books that reaffirm - if reaffirmation is needed - the importance of picture books
