The bright, colorful children’s book , Hurry Up, Alfie, playfully looks at the difference between a child’s sense of time and a parent’s.  While being coaxed to “hurry” to get ready to go to the park, Alfie is repeatedly distracted by his imagination.  He is gently encouraged to continue by his patient Mom.  The antics of Alfie are charming and the illustrations delightfully enhance the story. This is a very sweet book for kindergarten or first grade readers.
