Focus on Shirley Hughes

 Author Shirley Hughes has been a first choice in our home for our Kids. I w.as introduced to her books while studying teaching and fell in love with her delightful characters , real life drawings and stories routed in  wholesome fun and true life happenings.  We have loved Alfie and his little sister Annie Rose. We have so enjoyed the many other titles like Dogger and Sally's Secret

While living in the UK I was fortunate enough to hear Shirley Hughes actually interviewed on the radio.  It was a delight for me to hear how she based her drawings on real people that she studied as she went about her day.

Alfie Gets in First has my all time best choice when it came to reading time and we still have this delightful read on our book shelf. If you have not yet read any of these books, I thoroughly recommend any of her books.
