I started remembering special books that my own kids enjoyed and decided to share them. Alfie Gets in First was a big favorite that I had forgotten. The beautiful illustrations accentuate a short story about a little boy who accidentally locks himself inside of his house. His Mom offers encouragement through the door as he solves this BIG problem.
I will be ordering this to share with my granddaughter. I highly recommend it to you!
The life of the story can only fit into a few words, but what if those words were stories, and then love became poetry.

Good idea to present book reviews for grandmas and other gift ivers. How about the list you as a child liked: I remember Stone Soup,Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel,The Little engine that Could and I’m realizing that , for today’s kids -many have not seen a train,or a steamshovel. Shel Silverstein and Dr. Seuss were big favorites.
I think Beatrix Potter to me was beloved because of her illustrations.
Charlotte’s Web and Suart Little come to mind too!
Yes, I remember Copper-toed Boots and The Matchlock Gun too! Thanks!
Alfie gets in first is a lovely book, I especially like the way you can see the two sets of action (outside and inside)
