Book club: week 7

Strictly speaking, this is not a new book, because it's a part of the set I wrote about a few weeks ago, but it's the best book children's about birthdays!
Alfie and the Birthday Surprise by Shirley Hughes..

It's such a kind, lovely story, where Alphie's family helped to organise a surprise birthday party for their neighbour who was feeling a bit sad because he has lost his very good friend - an old cat and didn't want any birthday presents. I do love these books for exactly that - they help to teach kindness...
And the reason it needed to be about birthdays will be the subject of my next blog post!
