Description
Alfie Finds it hard to be gentle and forgets that babies are only small. They don't like huge fish, soft catkins or even the sound of thunder. Alfie thinks the babies are boring. But then they see something the all like.
Quick Summary
Alfie Bear learns a hilarious and heartwarming lesson about understanding others when his enthusiastic attempts to share his favorite things with babies completely backfire. Kids will laugh out loud as Alfie discovers that what HE loves (giant fish, fluffy catkins, booming thunder) is NOT what tiny babies want, and they'll feel his joy when he finally cracks the code. If your child loves sweet animal tales like "Corduroy" or "The Berenstain Bears and the New Baby," they'll absolutely adore this gentle story about learning empathy. With a 2.9 reading level and just 712 words, this is a perfect fit for kindergarten through second graders who are ready for their first easy readers.
