The Big Alfie Out-of-Doors Storytape
Thora Hird
Tellastory have launched all their best-selling titles in a new sing tape format, 'perfect for little hands and little ears' -and this is one. Thora Hird is exactly the right cosy-Granny-narrator for these four Alfie adventures and four poems. Alfie goes camping with Dad and is terrifed by a snuffling sheep in the night, has a wonderful visit to the seaside and nurtures his adopted pet stone. These stories are the sort that make comforting listening over and over again, and, of course, Thora Hird's narration is always welcome.
