Ds2 is very keen on Alfie (Shirley Hughes) at the moment. We have read most of them at various points in the past, and there are some stories that Ds2 keeps asking for hopefully, but I can't remember the name of the book they were in. They included one where Alfie and his mum go paddling down a stream and see a snake (tied up with the Adam and Eve story) and another where it rains at his grandmother's house and they explore the attic.
Does this ring any bells with anyone?
