About This Book
In "Who's Scaring Alfie Atkins?", young Alfie finds himself pondering the existence of ghosts, monsters, and even aliens, despite knowing logically that they don't exist. This classic picture book beautifully captures the internal world of a child grappling with fears and "what-ifs." With the comforting presence of his father, Alfie navigates these anxieties, making it a perfect read for children aged 3-6 who might be experiencing similar nighttime worries or vivid imaginations. The story gently normalizes these feelings while providing a sense of security and reassurance.
Alfie knows there are no such things as ghosts, monsters or weird little men from Mars, but if there were when would they come after him.
