Alfie on Holiday

Alfie is heading off to the seaside with his grandma, and makes a new friend on the beach!

But unfortunately all's not fair in love and friendship, and Alfie - with a little help from Grandma and Bernard - has to discover what a true friend looks like.

Reviews

The story is classic Hughes, and a beautiful depiction of those fleeting childhood holiday experiences that can’t be matched by the safety and comfort of home

Norman the bear loves honey so much that he disguises himself as a bee. A rip-roaring, irresistible caper.

—— Metro

a hilarious tale of a honey-loving bear who disguises himself as a bee to get easier access to the sweet sticky stuff.

—— The Guardian

Nadia Shireen has penned a delightful, fast paced narrative with a wonderful character - The Bumblebear is a fabulous picture book!

—— My Book Corner

Norman is a bear that loves honey. A lot. But with the pesky bees always hovering round the stash, he needs a cunning plan. Dressed in disguise, Norman sneaks into Bee School – but will his cover-up be rumbled? And will Norman finally learn to be happy in his own fur? Funny and poignant, Bumblebear has a sweet message about acceptance at its heart. You’ll be reading it on repeat this summer holiday.
