Alfie can’t stay out of messy trouble . . . but who is Alfie?
Alfie tries to stay clean, but he is forever making a mess. The story and art lead us to think a boy is talking about a dog who keeps stirring up trouble, but a little twist at the end engages readers while highlighting the strengths of friendship, imagination and play. This is a humorous story that celebrates the value of mischief, the joys of getting dirty and the bond between a boy and his dog
