Alfie is so excited about being the first one inside the house after a shopping trip that he slams the front door, leaving his mother and younger sister locked outside. Several neighborhood people offer help before Alfie himself comes up with the solution. A universal story, cleverly designed and illustrated by a distinguished British author/illustrator. (3-5 years)

Arriving home after shopping with his mom and sister, Alfie rushes inside and slams the door. Bang! Alfie is stuck inside and his mom and Annie Rose are stuck outside without a key. Soon everyone in the street becomes involved in trying to rescue Alfie, but he has a plan of his own.
