Helpers - Shirley Hughes

Shirley Hughes in general

my bag, one of my very old favourites, Dogger by Shirley Hughes. Anyone who grew up in the UK in the 70's or 80's will remember Shirley Hughes, both as a writer and an illustrator.

What makes the books so special is that they are about ordinary life - Alfie and Annie Rose don't do anything spectacular, just the kinda stuff little kids do everyday. I think this is the main appeal to little children, they love to see children doing the types of things that they do don't they? My daughter is four now and we have been ...
